Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it’s great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!
Can’t recommend spinning up a second account on a smaller instance enough. It’s made the experience so much faster than it was using my account on .world
broke: register on one of the main instances
woke: register on a small but well-run instance
bespoke: spin up your own instance
I wish more of the apps let you enter a custom server URL which would encourage this aspect of the fediverse. I currently use connect for lemmy, its great but only has 3 static server options.
you absolutely can in connect, just tap the text field and enter in the domain
The 3 options are just shortcuts. You can type in any server you want.
Which lemmy would you recommend? I chose world because I thought it’s the international version since there’s no lemmy specific for my country.
I’m posting from my secondary account on lemm.ee , which is a another nice general purpose server that’s very responsive performance wise.
Mali and Estonia seem popular for some reason.
I’m on lemmy.one and have had zero issues
