Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit's API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!
Long live lemmy, and death to Reddit!
Fantastic!
Very nice! Long may it continue.
This is awesome!!! Glad to be here before the first 100k and before the change to Voyager from WefWef.
Congrats on the milestone! @MicroWave@lemmy.world would it be possible (if you haven't done so already) to make one for Lemmy usage across all instances (or at least the major ones)?
Vlemmy refugees flocking in?
Fk yea!
Really excited to see how this platform develops
Impressive and amazing. I expect the Fediverse will continue to grow - in terms of users, content and engagement. It is like a breath of fresh air compared with the legacy social media.

Awesome :D
@MicroWave Wow it has grown very quickly. Last time I checked a few weeks ago I think it was around 30k
Wait, this instance only started on June 1? How did it grow so quickly compared to the rest?
It was the first to throw some real money behind it's server infrastructure. A month ago most Lemmy instances - even the "big" ones ran on $10 a month 2 vCPU VPSs.
There was another influx early in June when the API changes were announced but before the blackouts even happened.
Most instances with public signups started struggling but Lemmy.world launched and Ruud upgraded the server hardware almost daily to keep up.
Other instances even had to pause signups from time to time but world kept working and so gobbled up most signups on those days.
Once it got to be a top 3 instance and then top 2 and then first it became a self sustaining snowball as a lot of people chose the biggest instance by default.
Just a beginning my friends
