Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.
With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!
What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?

the 99.46% uptime is also insane for the number of users, well done @ruud@lemmy.world 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.
Yeah @ruud@lemmy.world has been doing a fantastic job keeping this instance running smoothly.
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.
To me it feels like the soul of the old internet in the look and convenience of the modern internet. I am not sure if that’s the right assumption since, but I feel like this decentralised, anyone can make a forum and host it and connect to others (fediverse) is what the internet was supposed to be like, a way to share information amongst each other
