Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That’s a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Welcome new reddit expats!

      Given the… frankly absurd rate at which people are signing up to servers, and subscribing to other servers, and posting and commenting and upvoting and…

      I mean it’s getting a bit hairy, and user growth was already following a very steep growth curve.

        When I joined reddit more than a decade ago we also had frequent periods of instability, I think this was around the time digg users fled to reddit.

        I am confident it’ll all be sorted out along the way.

          You can avoid it completely right now by simply joining one of the less crowded instances instead.

            Yes, I am beginning to see that. I’m considering just spinning up my own instance, should be the fastest solution of all, right?

      Does it work from a different browser? Are you accessing it directly or via your home instance?
