Almost! At the time of this post, lemmy.world has a whopping 25733 users and is growing fast.
Since my last post yesterday, it has added 4000 new users, making it the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there. Also quickly catching up to lemmy.ml’s 36000 (not taking new registrations).
beehaw.org (3rd largest) sits at 12500 users, partly because of more restrictive registration requirements.
Exciting to see all this growth!
Yep still get subscribe pending for lemmy.ml but lemmy.world is ready with the instant subs 🙏🏾
The devs don’t want to run the flagship instance with all the sysadmin and moderation issues that brings. You made the right choice :)
