Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.
With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!
What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?

I’ve joined two days ago and so far I’m really liking it, it seems like a nice alternative and there’s something about it that really feels fresh, I think it’s the fact that it’s kind of slow content wise as of now since it takes time to build communities but that just makes me appreciate it even more.
we’re witnessing something great taking place and I’m glad I’m part of it.
To me it feels like the soul of the old internet in the look and convenience of the modern internet. I am not sure if that’s the right assumption since, but I feel like this decentralised, anyone can make a forum and host it and connect to others (fediverse) is what the internet was supposed to be like, a way to share information amongst each other
Honestly reminds me a lot of the digg migration - the amount of people joining a Lemmy instance is staggering
