The largest current Lemmy instance alone (lemmy.world) only came into being a little over a month ago, just about the time Reddit dropped their stink-turd announcement about their intent to API-price third-party apps out of existence.
It now sits at about 80k users. It was right at 60k just before those apps stopped working, so it’s grown significantly just in the last 48 hours. No idea how long we can sustain this kind of growth, but it’s good to see this space blossoming into its own cool thing.
