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!
Hi I'm new here. Does it matter what instance I'm subscribed to? I don't know what the practical differences would really be from my experience?
I an new myself but I dont think it does. Only difference there might be is that some just lag more (lemmy.ml) due to so many users.
While this is indeed awesome remember that the whole point in federation is having a lot of small communities rather than one or two huge ones.
In large part the same also happened on mastodon where mastodon.social has 200k people. This is not the way that ti's supposed to work; no single instance should have this many users, in fact often it's better to have instances for maybe 50 users at most
Lemmy.world is growing for sure. Good.
Excited to be a part of something new!
If you're having a hard time seeing all the columns on mobile, use "view as desktop" in your browser settings. It's the only way I can see all the columns. (Android / Opera)
