EDIT: Just crossed 26000!
Almost! At the time of this post, lemmy.world has a whopping 25733 users and is growing fast.
Since my last post yesterday, it has added 4000 new users, making it the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there. Also quickly catching up to lemmy.ml's 36000 (not taking new signups).
beehaw.org (3rd largest) sits at 12500 users, partly because of more restrictive registration requirements.

Exciting to see all this growth!
the lemmyverse takeover is inevitable
While this is indeed awesome remember that the whole point in federation is having a lot of small communities rather than one or two huge ones.
In large part the same also happened on mastodon where mastodon.social has 200k people. This is not the way that ti's supposed to work; no single instance should have this many users, in fact often it's better to have instances for maybe 50 users at most
Quick note: beehaw has defederated as of the other day
I don't think people should be encouraged to join large lemmys. The federated nature makes your home instance irrelevant for the most part, but it is harder to understand to new users than other corporate sites': GIVE EMAIL GIVE PASSWORD HERE ACCESS
Excited to be a part of something new!
Lemmy.world is growing for sure. Good.
If you're having a hard time seeing all the columns on mobile, use "view as desktop" in your browser settings. It's the only way I can see all the columns. (Android / Opera)
28000 already!
Almost 30k, lemmy.world is quickly becoming the largest instance, insane.
omg almost 29k at this time of writing, i like people are escaping from reddit
