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!
I wish more of the apps let you enter a custom server URL which would encourage this aspect of the fediverse. I currently use connect for lemmy, its great but only has 3 static server options.
wefwef has this feature!
you absolutely can in connect, just tap the text field and enter in the domain
The 3 options are just shortcuts. You can type in any server you want.
You can add custom instances on Liftoff (!liftoff@lemmy.world). It has .world, .ml, and beehaw as the defaults but you can add instances manually as well. I'm using it right now and added lemm.ee
Thunder allows this and has good performance. It's on the IzzyOnDroid f-droid repo but hasn't hit playstore yet.
