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!

Is there something like a Lemmy guide on how to use it? I'm using jerboa, and finding communities is not a user friendly experience so far. Everything is so separated.

Edit: thanks! I also decided to use "install app" from my browser which just makes an applet on my home screen. For now, this is a much better experience than jerboa. I understand it's very new so I'll definitely keep an eye on development

Thanks for the install app tip. Seems like it works a bit nicer. Hopefully jerboa or some other apps will be equal to the the 3rd party teddit apps soon

So... Who's gonna stream the moment when we become number 1 community (like Reddark on Twitch lol)

I just joined today, enjoying that early breaking ground feel and learning the differences. Also have been using Beehaw for the past week or so but want to experience everything there is as well.

I really like it, there’s still some of the smaller communities not available yet but that’s understandable because it’s still quite new. There’s a lot here and the feel is similar enough to Reddit that it fills that gap for me.

What do you think of Lemmy, what are your thoughts?

Lemmy looked barebone a couple of weeks ago, but it's changed dramatically since. Like you, I miss some smaller niche communities (gardening and home improvement related), but with the upcoming Lemmy app from the Sync dev, things are looking super exciting.

At some point this instance should stop it's indefinite growth IMHO. Centralizing users is not in the ethos of lemmy. I think once it reaches the size of lemmy.ml it should close to new users.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Centralizing users is not in the ethos of lemmy.

Users don't care about your ethos. They just want to be on a stable platform with other people.

Corporations didn't centralize the internet, people did. Corporations just got rich of it.
