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!

I'm not sure how accurate that part of the stat page is, given we have very little usage data compiled into a short sample size, during a time of high growth.

Most people don't know that the lemmy.world instance was only started on June 1 or June 2 this year, and is only a little more than a month old. A month of crazy growth to become the most popular Lemmy instance that fast, with more growth likely to come.
