the 99.46% uptime is also insane for the number of users, well done @[email protected] for doing an incredible job on this instance

Big thanks to Ruud. I'm not even on this server but I know he's the man.

it was only at 20k three days ago.

It was less than 500 when I joined 10 days ago :D

The server itself is pretty new also, I think Ruud created it the first few days of June, huge props to him!

Great job Ruud!!

This will probably increase the cost of operationg and maintaining the server to keep this level of excellent server uptime.

A kind reminder that we can support Lemmy World and donate thru Patreon / Open Collective

I've joined two days ago and so far I'm really liking it, it seems like a nice alternative and there's something about it that really feels fresh, I think it's the fact that it's kind of slow content wise as of now since it takes time to build communities but that just makes me appreciate it even more.

we're witnessing something great taking place and I'm glad I'm part of it.

As a reddit refugee it feels great to see Lemmy grow, and even better when you’re on the winning instance!! :)

Oh boy 29999 friends that I can be obnoxious towards on main

It's been amazing to see how fast this has all grown. There are seem real, sizeable communities here now!

New user who just joined today, happy to be here! 👍🏼

Is there a website that is available that tracks all this information publicly?

I saw this post on kbin.social too, did they refederate?

We comin for dat ass, Lemmy.ml

Why the lemmy.ml registration is closed? Is it to give a chance for other instances to grow? Or because of they cant handle the sudden new users surge?

I just created /c/oldphotosinreallife for those of us missing the old one. Hopefully some of the new users will find it and add some content.

As a neighbor, I appreciate your empty defederation list. Too many lemmy instances start off with the atom bomb instead of user or community bans in response to bad behavior from individuals.

I hope you have lots of success. This side of the fediverse really needs more intellectual diversity, and I get the feeling that's what I'll continue to see from lemmy.world.

Is there a way to find out which instance is defederated from which or a common list. I would not know about beeshaw defederating if not mentioned here.

I’m still having challenges getting an account to actually go through at Lemmy.World. I’m able to see content from another instance, but I’m a fan of looking at “all” as it opens up a lot of great content that you might not catch otherwise, so having multiple accounts at multiple sites is something I’m planning for at this point.

Fantastic! When I joined the week before the reddit blackout I believe there was something like 2,000 users. Such huge growth in a short amount of time! Consider donating a few bucks monthly to help with server costs. I'm doing my part!

This was the first planet I discovered.

I'm curious how these numbers compare to kbin.social.

Edit: I'm stupid, all the numbers are in the link at the bottom of the OP.

And now already at 31K, it does look like it's maintaining a pace of 1k~2k new users per day.

Happy 30k day !

How many more users could be added? I know that lemmy has never been so popular so we can't really know, and that it will mostly depend on the hardware used, but have there already been any load tests that might give an idea?

Let's here it for ruud, and all of us! Been really enjoying chopping it up with yous. I'm glad I randomly picked lemmy.world. (: thanks to whoever put up the link in some random reddit thread!

It appears my home instance has disabled new users. Interesting.

And we’re not stopping until we are the Lemmy
