Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!
Welcome new reddit expats!
i have been using saidit becasue i said something edgy and got shadowbanned on one of my reddit accounts a while back. sadly saidit never grew to be as big as lemmy. but it's still good to see decentralized platform rise again. someone mentioned aaron schwarz in a recent discussion on reddit perhaps under a post concerning reddit's recent policy changes and baclashes, and i am glad to see aaron's decentralization idea realizing here on lemmy.
