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!

That’s really neat but the closest servers are private, lol.
I wouldn't sweat so much picking a close server as long as it has enough users to be around for a while, reasonable rules, and isn't under too much strain. Just by getting off the big servers, you'll have a much faster experience and access to the same content.
I moved from lemmy.world to this one that specializes in my interests, and it's running great.
Those are good tips, thanks, I found a smaller one recently and it’s MUCH better, things are actually loading now, lol.
It's comfy; my setup almost never fails to load or post anything after load-balancing myself elsewhere.
