Lemmy.world has grown by about 66.6% since reddit's API shutdown
Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!

They need to slow the growth this place has become nearly unusable.
Registration should close on .world for a bit, like .ml did, so people can join other smaller instances and spread out. That's the point of decentralization anyways.
That sounds like a good idea.
The nice part about federated software is that there are other instances you can join :D
I just switched over to lemm.ee. Much better now.
