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.

I really like it, there’s still some of the smaller communities not available yet but that’s understandable because it’s still quite new. There’s a lot here and the feel is similar enough to Reddit that it fills that gap for me.
What do you think of Lemmy, what are your thoughts?
Lemmy looked barebone a couple of weeks ago, but it’s changed dramatically since. Like you, I miss some smaller niche communities (gardening and home improvement related), but with the upcoming Lemmy app from the Sync dev, things are looking super exciting.
