Since my last post yesterday, lemmy.world has added over 3000 new users, bringing the total user count to 22000 today (source: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). It firmly holds the position of the second-largest lemmy instance, passing beehaw.org by a large margin of 10000 users.
In other news, beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world a few hours ago. How does the third-largest instance only have 4 ~~mods~~ admins for its 12000 users?!
So much going on!
I find it very confusing that they are defederating. Beehaw users can choose to watch local content only. Why damage the federation in this crucial time?
Nah, de-federation means they won't be seeing anything from lemmy.world on:
They will still see lemmy.world comments on other instances, but lemmy.world posts won't appear on the ALL sorting.
In the same way lemmy.world won't be able to see beehaw posts.
Basically,
No, they can choose to see content from local communities. The users posting in those communities, and the people commenting on those posts, can still come from any federated site.
A lot of users joined Lemmy.world due to the open sign ups. Whether they will be lurking or not remains to be seen.
Yeah I used to lurk on reddit, but trying to be more active on lemmy.world. I'm a fan of what's going on with lemmy and kbin.

I missed what happened with mastodon.social. What moderation tools were missing?
The moderators.
That's a fun way to call all the moderators tools :D
Exciting to see such incredible growth in such a short time! I do feel like that until moderation tools improve some instances might do something similar to beehaw. Given beehaw noted it was hopefully a temporary solution and they have stricter content guidelines than most instances.
The growth right now is crazy, my chosen site/instance/? is struggling to stay up. Iβm really excited for this like I havenβt been for any website in a good decade.
What's your chosen instance? And yeah, I haven't been this excited since the whole digg vs. reddit switch back in 2010. And then there's mastodon this past year. I remember reading about needing decentralized social media back then, and now it's finally here.
I saw on one of their post that they now have 36 mods, but I guess that's still not enough.
I think you're right, they have 4 admins. Corrected my post. Thanks!
Beware of bots and cyber attacks, dear lemmy!
