Lemmy.world officially has 33k users! 3000 users away from becoming the #1 lemmy instance. - Lemmy.world

The user count at the moment of this post stands at 33279 and continues to grow! To take the #1 spot from lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] (36185 users and no longer growing), lemmy.world [https://lemmy.world/] just needs about 3000 new users. Given the current growth rate, it should be another day or two. We’re building something here!

At some point this instance should stop it's indefinite growth IMHO. Centralizing users is not in the ethos of lemmy. I think once it reaches the size of lemmy.ml it should close to new users.

To play devils advocate, freedom is the ethos of lemmy. Let this instance encourage migration, whilst users are free to access it from any other instance too :)

I'm happy to see lemmy.world grow as I look inward from kbin.social, and I think we should all be happy the fediverse in general is gaining traction.
