Lemmy.world officially has 30k users! - Lemmy.world

Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world [https://lemmy.world/] has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth. With that, lemmy.world [https://lemmy.world/] is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org [http://beehaw.org]’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth! What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world [https://lemmy.world/] so far? To track lemmy’s growth: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list]

As a neighbor, I appreciate your empty defederation list. Too many lemmy instances start off with the atom bomb instead of user or community bans in response to bad behavior from individuals.

I hope you have lots of success. This side of the fediverse really needs more intellectual diversity, and I get the feeling that's what I'll continue to see from lemmy.world.

The only thing I'd be okay with defederating from is lemmygrad. It's only half satire and a wholeheartedly hateful place. It's a fast track to the reddit communities that would be removed for spreading hate and extremism. It's enevitably going become a misinformation chamber. Fuck that place... Should cut the cancer out now before it metastasizes.
Good thing you have a button to block the entire instance and not worry about it

You can? The feature request is still open
