Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit’s API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!

The only good bug is a dead bug!
I’m from Beunos Aries and I say, kill them all!
I imagine this could be really confusing to someone whose second language is English.
Hmm. Was it the typo? I just edited that. Stupid brain bug made me do it. Thanks!
Haha me too :D

LETS GO LENNY!!!

Petition to change the lemmy.world logo to Lenny
Yes. Where do I sign lol
If lemmy goes in the wrong direction and everyone abandons (water)ship, Lenny would be a good pejorative. After all, who better to unwitting snap a rodent’s neck than Lenny?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Lenny ftw, so much better than Reffit
Not Lenny!
I came due to protest, but staying for quality of fediverse users (posting from kbin)
I was waiting for a MicroWave thread about this 😁
Congratulations everyone for this milestone! 🥳
I’ve been having a little too much fun on lemmy. 😁
Or you might be 1% of 1%. I think it is great. At least until I arbitarily decide it is not. ;)
I’m trying to keep up with the fediverse jargon, but what the heck is a MicroWave thread?
Just done by Microwave, an enthusiastic poster
Oh geez. Got it. Thank you!
No worries, have a good day!
Wasn’t lemmy.world only created in mid June?
June 1, I think. Hitting 100k users in just over a month is kind of intense.
Zuck, Spez, and Elon can suck my nuts!
Well I’m loving Lemmy.world so far. Feels refreshing in here.
I wasn’t commenting much on Reddit, but in here I feel like participating.
Congrats and thanks Lemmy.world admin @[email protected]
Hello from Kbin. It’s nice that we can hang out.
waves across the tubes
Al Gore invented those you know.
The internet is not something you just dump something on.
It is pretty sweet. The fediverse. It’s nice that we can all hang out. ☺️
I absolutely love it. I can’t wait for the fediverse to thrive with lemmy integration for peertube and an imgur alternative
Just documenting my “I was there” moment.
Exactly. In a “this is for the future” way.
This is the way.
I was here too!
I wasn’t here… wait crud

Me too, it’s amazing to see how quickly Lemmy is growing now
Pretty sure Lemmy is getting a ton of reddit users now that they pretty much ruined the user experience by making 3rd party app developers to pay money to use their api.
I just created an account here… I won’t be returning to reddit!
Welcome to the Fediverse. To acknowledge your arrival, please accept the Lemmy Lemon Basket award.

Went from lurker to user today actually. It wasn’t even the apps it was just the awful attitude towards users.
What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.
And still silent on the status of Meta defederation.
It’s not federated yet anyway.
I believe Ruud has stated elsewhere (on Mastodon or whatever it is called) that they won’t do anything preemptively, but they’re keeping a close eye on what Meta does.
Okay. Thanks for the update 👍

First, it is not just lemmy, it is the fediverse (replying to you from kbin.social - my preferred cup of tea). Second, I see that the mostly good people/posters are leaving Reddit, I do not see, for example, personal attacks when people disagree here in fediverse, I see no removed/moderated comments or posts. I am sure it happens here too, it is just so rare… it reminds me of the days of mass migration from digg. So, at least for now I think this is great, and it separates people who are ready to stand for principles from the rest. Welcome.

Yea so far it’s great. I’d imagine once it’s easier to access, well see a slow decline in quality discourse and content, but that’s all things, so I’m just enjoying the moment tbh.

The third party app I used for reddit said that this is the platform they were going to focus on. That’s why I came. Those are the people I want to support. The people that make the experience better. Once they release an app I’ll buy it first day
Sync for reddit show such message, can’t waut for it to switch to Lemmy.
Also feel free to support Lemmy itself by donating to the project
Yep, same. That’s why I’m here now. On the Connect app though, but it feels similar to Sync.
Hmm… are you here for boost? That’s why I joined Lemmy!
Good for you lemmy.world, congrats!
BTW, lemmy.world is #1 in the node sort by total users at the-federation.info
Now the trick is to keep the instance running well with that crazy high user load.
The devs have been working their butts off. They make post with complete transparency about their growing pains. The devs of leemy.world and others get together and troubleshoot as a team, especially lemmy.ml. everything is posted on GitHub. It’s awesome to see and support. I’ve been here for about four weeks now, and it has been fun to watch it grow, and participate in the user community.
Just a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.
It’s like catching a nice surf wave.
I’m not going back to Reddit, that’s for sure. Unless…they come up with an i486 theme…🤔
Me neither!
That makes three of us!
Very happy to be part of this community - feels like home to me!
