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?

FYI, if you’re having trouble signing up, there are 3 known possible reasons when the wheel keeps spinning: username already taken, username too long (>20), and password too long. Hopefully lemmy fixes that soon.
Password too long? Is the limit known? I signed up last week with a 30 character password
That’s what some people have reported. Not sure if anyone’s done a test to figure out the exact limit.
I haven’t had a chance to look at the Lemmy code, but is it really limiting password length? There’s almost no valid reason to do this since it’s just going to get hashed, and all the hash lengths are going to be the same regardless of the input string.
