Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.

Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.

So, welcome reddit expats!

Any lemmy.world user who feels comfortable using the lemmy explorer to subscribe to communities via URL should heavily consider moving to a smaller instance and subscribing to everything they want. It'll be a much snappier experience, and will very slightly reduce lag for everyone else.

You can find instances by server location here (just change the software to Lemmy at the top), by user count here, or just look at the official instance list.
