Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.
With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!
What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?

Happy 30k day !
How many more users could be added? I know that lemmy has never been so popular so we can't really know, and that it will mostly depend on the hardware used, but have there already been any load tests that might give an idea?
I think I saw ruud or another dev saying the upgrade they did the other day will allow for pretty substantial growth before another hardware upgrade will be needed, and it's mostly about optimizing now. -Not a tech guy, no source.
