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!

Can't recommend spinning up a second account on a smaller instance enough. It's made the experience so much faster than it was using my account on .world

Which lemmy would you recommend? I chose world because I thought it's the international version since there's no lemmy specific for my country.

Mali and Estonia seem popular for some reason.

If I had to guess, the latter is because of lemm.ee, whose admin is from there (according to GitHub).

I'm on Lemm.ee it's been good to me. Ran smooth during the migration.

Yeah I’m happy with the performance on lemm.ee so far. I was on lemmy.world but I kept running to “failed to fetch” errors and overall slowness. I’m not surprised, given by how many users are on lemmy.world, but it goes to show the importance of decentralization for Lemmy (and the fediverse in general).
