The user count at the moment of this post stands at 33279 and continues to grow!
To take the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (36185 users and no longer growing), lemmy.world just needs about 3000 new users. Given the current growth rate, that should only be another day or two.
We’re building something here! Kudos to lemmy.world admin @[email protected] for all of his hard work keeping this site running smoothly.

Honestly: how do I display a feed of only the posts in subscribed “magazines”? I get random posts from random places in the fediverse.
Go to the
/subpath on the server, e.g. https://kbin.social/sub.To avoid having to type that in each time, you can enable a top-bar that has a link to “Subscribed”, among others: click the gear on the right, and next to “Show top bar”, select “Yes”.
Maybe there’s an easier way to manage this, but I haven’t found it.
I’m keeping my kbin.social account for now but the approach to usability is not something that inspires confidence in me…
In addition to the other suggestions, I’d recommend Jerboa for Lemmy if you’re on android. I feel like the UI is a little more user friendly and streamlined than the mobile site.
Are there other good alternatives? It is very bare bones and a lot of links to communities or users just closes the app.
This will be fixed in the next update… not sure on the release schedule though.
I got tired of waiting and just built it from source
Someone is claiming to port Slide from Reddit to Lemmy: https://github.com/bqv/slide
So far no actual Lemmy-related code but changes to the Readme file to ask for money. Maybe keep that on the radar but don’t send money until they actually produce an initial Lemmy port and it’s clear it’s not a lie to make money.
You can switch between Subscribed, Moderated, Favourites and All if you hover over the second button from the right, the one right next to your username.
You can also set the default to showing Subscribed in the settings, so instead you go to kbin.social/all
Holy shit, that’s dumb. Yeah, Lemmy also defaults to all but switching the view is actually easy to discover (changing the default is also buried in the settings for whatever reason).
I find the appearance of default kbin more inviting but it’s issues like these that show that kbin prioritizes looks over usability. Also kbin in written in PHP which has a very bad security track record. Lemmy is written in Rust which has a good security track record.
I’m not sure how that’s dumb; it was among the first things I found. The only dumb thing I found was that notifications are off by default (why?).
