EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳

We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

    There were only 500 people on lemmy.world when you started? How long ago if you don’t mind me asking?

          Yes! I’ve been using it very actively every day since I joined, and while it’s not perfect, I haven’t seen any major hiccups, admins are doing a truly fantastic job.
