Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit’s API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!
glad to be a part of this community!
Congrats on the milestone! @[email protected] would it be possible (if you haven’t done so already) to make one for Lemmy usage across all instances (or at least the major ones)?

Thanks! It’ll be really nice to see how many people are giving Lemmy a good try.
Very happy to be part of this community - feels like home to me!
Happy to be a part of this.
Glad to be enjoying this community and the way it’s growing. Love not having ads and being free from corporate greed
Good for you lemmy.world, congrats!
BTW, lemmy.world is #1 in the node sort by total users at the-federation.info
Now the trick is to keep the instance running well with that crazy high user load.
The devs have been working their butts off. They make post with complete transparency about their growing pains. The devs of leemy.world and others get together and troubleshoot as a team, especially lemmy.ml. everything is posted on GitHub. It’s awesome to see and support. I’ve been here for about four weeks now, and it has been fun to watch it grow, and participate in the user community.
Sucks for beehaw
What happened with them?
At the beginning of the great migration, they got overwhelmed by troll harras accounts, that used lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works open registration to evade bans. A lot of vile stuff got posted (like photos of murdered drag queens). They decided to defederate from both instances temporarily until they have better mod tools. I don’t think it was necessary but they do that they think is the best for their community. At that point Beehaw had some of the best communities through and many people were angry to get kicked out for something that wasn’t their fault.
Oh wow… Thanks for the background info. I’ve seen people here saying negative things about beehaw, and didn’t know exactly why.
Its mostly because they defederated from lemmy.world. Meaning you dont really get to interact with them. You can see their posts and comments, they cant see yours.
Nice thing about federation is that people have choices but I thought that move make them lose audiences and users.
Why did they defederate?
Congrats, ya’ll! 🥳
Wasn’t lemmy.world only created in mid June?
