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.

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.
