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.

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?).
