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.
