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, it should be another day or two.
We’re building something here!
I never heard of lemmy and kbin either before 2-3 weeks ago, yet here I am. Info about alternatives has been plastered everywhere on reddit since then, really hard to not see them.
