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!

just a wild a guess. will it should be more dependant on bandwidth and traffic than users. posters on c/cats are more demanding than posters of c/news in terms of ressources and bandwidth. text is lightweight compared to image or gifs.

For sure. Larger userbase also increases likelihood of more and bigger donors, however, so the critical question is whether that revenue increases at a higher or lower rate than server costs.
