Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.

With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!

What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?

    Is there a way to find out which instance is defederated from which or a common list. I would not know about beeshaw defederating if not mentioned here.

    Fantastic! When I joined the week before the reddit blackout I believe there was something like 2,000 users. Such huge growth in a short amount of time! Consider donating a few bucks monthly to help with server costs. I’m doing my part!

    it was only at 20k three days ago.

    It was less than 500 when I joined 10 days ago :D

    The server itself is pretty new also, I think Ruud created it the first few days of June, huge props to him!

    I’m curious how these numbers compare to kbin.social.

    Edit: I’m stupid, all the numbers are in the link at the bottom of the OP.

    As a reddit refugee it feels great to see Lemmy grow, and even better when you’re on the winning instance!! :)

        I was on Beehaw, but made an account over here so I can switch between the two since they’re defederated. Someone said it’s actually better to be on another instance since you can access both.

      i keep reading here and on reddit that that it’s an alt right instance, and they don’t want non alt right people joining. but that’s hearsay.

          Yeah, aceshigh might’ve confused lemmy.ml for the wolf something instance (genuinely can’t remember). I’m a refugee too so I’ve only read about it but afaik it got defedersted pretty quick and died soon after.

          While lemmy.ml is leftist and the devs are leftist, they aren’t militant about it. Might be me tho. Though I’m biased, I’m leftist too.

            Yeah, I’m definitely on the left side of politics as well. But I believe in free speech, and as long as racist bigots aren’t facilitating violence or other crimes, they have a right to talk to each other. Doesn’t mean that I want to be in a space where views like that go unchallenged, or support the people that make it possible.

            It is interested that things went down like this right away in a federated landscape. Reddit really struggled with this for years, but it seems like the federation model was much more effective at moderating.

      It was the first one I was able to join. Beehaw didn’t accept me. They’re too exclusive for me.

    As a neighbor, I appreciate your empty defederation list. Too many lemmy instances start off with the atom bomb instead of user or community bans in response to bad behavior from individuals.

    I hope you have lots of success. This side of the fediverse really needs more intellectual diversity, and I get the feeling that’s what I’ll continue to see from lemmy.world.

      The only thing I’d be okay with defederating from is lemmygrad. It’s only half satire and a wholeheartedly hateful place. It’s a fast track to the reddit communities that would be removed for spreading hate and extremism. It’s enevitably going become a misinformation chamber. Fuck that place… Should cut the cancer out now before it metastasizes.

          Please walk me thru how to do so. I know how to unsubscribe from individual communities within that instance, but I do not see any option to block an entire instance.

    lemmy.ml’s mods are marxists and pro-China, even in favor of the fascist atrocities, such as the Uyghur genocide/ethnocide and the Tiananmen Square massacre. Lemmy is open-source and they have indicated that people should use other servers if they don’t believe in those ideals because they mod that server with them in mind. Don’t use lemmy.ml as your base server unless you are a tankie extremist like then.

      Those are pretty bold and specific claims. Source?

          I feel conflicted about this. Many of the tech guys in Silicon Valley have atrocious, Techo-fascists views (for example Huffman saying that shit about being on top on the post-apocalypse), and I use their products. And it’s not like smart people that have produced good things can’t have horrible views (see Noam Chomsky on Ukraine). But it’s pretty irrefutable that the lemmy.ml guys are red fascists pro-genocide. I hope it doesn’t grow much, but I get the feeling that if their mods go full tyrant banning anti-China comments they will lose a lot of people there.
