The user count at the moment of this post stands at 33279 and continues to grow!

To take the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (36185 users and no longer growing), lemmy.world just needs about 3000 new users. Given the current growth rate, that should only be another day or two.

We’re building something here! Kudos to lemmy.world admin @ruud@lemmy.world for all of his hard work keeping this site running smoothly.

    What really hurts so much about this is that Reddit is effectively a modern Alexandrian Library, and it’s burning. There’s so much content there that’s vitally important and it could all go up in smoke. Anybody know any full archival projects?

        Many of datahoarders initiatives are pointless at best. Hoarding reddits data across a thousand personal hard drives that are inaccessible to anyone else is of extremely limited value. I’ve watched them perform the same action over and over, but most of the time that data never ends up in a new home. It just rots at someone’s house.
