EDIT: Just crossed 26000!
Almost! At the time of this post, lemmy.world has a whopping 25733 users and is growing fast.
Since my last post yesterday, it has added 4000 new users, making it the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there. Also quickly catching up to lemmy.ml's 36000 (not taking new signups).
beehaw.org (3rd largest) sits at 12500 users, partly because of more restrictive registration requirements.

Exciting to see all this growth!
Hello from kbin.social. Isn’t federation and diversity great?!
Hello from my personal lemmy instance. ;)
Oooo - get you Mr/Ms/Mx fancypants over there.
I'm trying to figure out how to make my own
It's not hard but a little challenging.. If your savvy but new to the docker world there is a nice Ansible playbook that will set it up for you. Or if you want turn key with not much tech savvy there is a managed host doing Lemmy's for 10 a month. Search on here you'll find it.
I'm going the ansible playbook version. I'll work on it this coming week when I have time.
Great... Do the ssh keys... Much easier than doing the password setup.
In this blessed age, we are all Federation champions. Or we devolve:
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
Great to see kbin.social rejoin everyone after the server upgrades!
is kbin another instance or a slightly different program to Lemmy but compatible?
kbin is a different software but still compatible with lemmy instances (and more like mastodon).
Still new to all this, but it's nice to hear that they both talk to each other. Meaning they don't compete, but live together.
It is! Hello fellow kbinian!
Any idea how many users we have?
