Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit’s API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!
Would you like to know more?
The only good bud is a dead bug!
I’m from Beunos Aries and I say, kill them all!
Haha me too :D
I dong my part for Lemmy.world everyday!!
Edit: awww he edited his post :/
Keep your dong to yourself
I was waiting for a MicroWave thread about this 😁
Congratulations everyone for this milestone! 🥳
I’ve been having a little too much fun on lemmy. 😁
Or you might be 1% of 1%. I think it is great. At least until I arbitarily decide it is not. ;)
I’m trying to keep up with the fediverse jargon, but what the heck is a MicroWave thread?
Just done by Microwave, an enthusiastic poster
Oh geez. Got it. Thank you!
No worries, have a good day!
I’ve only been using Lenny for a day and a half, but I’ve been having a great time. The memes are 10/10 and everything else is coming together nicely. This is already my Reddit replacement, genuinely.
LETS GO LENNY!!!
Ha, I was laughing at someone else writing Lenny earlier. Never considered that it was just auto-correct and that I should be careful not to do the same 😅
Petition to change the lemmy.world logo to Lenny
Yes. Where do I sign lol
If lemmy goes in the wrong direction and everyone abandons (water)ship, Lenny would be a good pejorative. After all, who better to unwitting snap a rodent’s neck than Lenny?
Not Lenny!
Wasn’t lemmy.world only created in mid June?
June 1, I think. Hitting 100k users in just over a month is kind of intense.
Zuck, Spez, and Elon can suck my nuts!
Well I’m loving Lemmy.world so far. Feels refreshing in here.
I wasn’t commenting much on Reddit, but in here I feel like participating.
Congrats and thanks Lemmy.world admin @rudd@lemmy.world
Hello from Kbin. It’s nice that we can hang out.
It is pretty sweet. The fediverse. It’s nice that we can all hang out. ☺️
waves across the tubes
I absolutely love it. I can’t wait for the fediverse to thrive with lemmy integration for peertube and an imgur alternative
What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.
I just signed up the other day once I discovered the dev for Sync was starting development on a Lemmy app.
I wanted to ask regular Lemmy users… What is your opinion on the influx of people from Reddit? Do you fear it will change the social atmosphere here, or do you welcome new users to the community?
I’ve seen plenty of posts venting about Reddit already, and I imagine that’ll probably get tiring really fast for long lasting Lemmy users (Lemmyers?)
First, it is not just lemmy, it is the fediverse (replying to you from kbin.social - my preferred cup of tea). Second, I see that the mostly good people/posters are leaving Reddit, I do not see, for example, personal attacks when people disagree here in fediverse, I see no removed/moderated comments or posts. I am sure it happens here too, it is just so rare… it reminds me of the days of mass migration from digg. So, at least for now I think this is great, and it separates people who are ready to stand for principles from the rest. Welcome.
I agree, the vibe has generally been more upbeat and optimistic, with the occasional venting. Thank you for the welcome! I’m still figuring out how the fediverse works, but it makes sense more or less. Hopefully more people can see the benefit of truly being in control of your content you put out, as well as the content that you see.
Yea so far it’s great. I’d imagine once it’s easier to access, well see a slow decline in quality discourse and content, but that’s all things, so I’m just enjoying the moment tbh.
And still silent on the status of Meta defederation.
It’s not federated yet anyway.
I believe Ruud has stated elsewhere (on Mastodon or whatever it is called) that they won’t do anything preemptively, but they’re keeping a close eye on what Meta does.
Okay. Thanks for the update 👍
I’m not going back to Reddit, that’s for sure. Unless…they come up with an i486 theme…🤔
Me neither!
That makes three of us!
Just a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.
It’s like catching a nice surf wave.
It’s amazing how well it handles the load now compared to just a few weeks before
Not only is Rudd doing and amazing job as admin of the instance, they are also really transparent ab ob it the challenges in their frequent updates!
I like Kbin better, but I am happy and proud to contribute to this rapidly expanding family of communities that repudiates control by megacorps and Big Tech.
The great thing is that there’s no competition between lemmy and kbin. We can use whichever we prefer and still have access to all the same communities.
Can you explain what the difference is other than they are separated instances?
Lemmy and Kbin are actually completely different apps, like Lemmy and Mastadon, but they can federate with each other through the Activity Pub protocol, and they both happen to be aiming to be Reddit replacements. (Kbin is also aiming to have some Twitter-like functionality as well.) I like the way Kbin sorts its posts better, but I like Lemmy’s terminology more. I don’t mind either of their UI.
From my limited understanding they’re all based on activitypub, so the way we interact and generate content is the same. The difference is the UI and implementation of features outside of activitypub
It’s different software displaying the content. Like if you used either Outlook, Gmail, or Thunderbird to show email. You can go to kbin.social and compare it to what you’ve got. There’s also a bunch of scripts posted in kbinStyles to further customize the looks (that might be wrapped into later versions of kbin perhaps).

glad to be a part of this community!
It’s been handled amazingly well on the whole, too!
