The user count at the moment of this post stands at 33279 and continues to grow!

To take the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (36185 users and no longer growing), lemmy.world just needs about 3000 new users. Given the current growth rate, it should be another day or two.

We’re building something here!

Easy to say, harder to achieve. Join Lemmy alreayd recommends smaller instances, but if you scroll a bit down, there are Popular which most peple will choose as they are very likely to not understand federation.
