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?

It is still accelerating in growth. Crazy.

That is great to see for Lemmy.

That's cool but also terrifying.

Damn, its rapidly catching up to .ml!

[–] aranym@lemmy.name 1 points 1 year ago

Congrats, ya'll! It's a fantastic instance :)

That's great, although I'd like to see some others up there as well to keep the fediverse healthy.

Does anybody know what the hardware specs are that lemmy.world runs on? It would be nice to get an idea of the hardware requirements to scale up that far.

Honestly as this tech matures I would expect like minded communities to end up running their own instances. Like photographers and such. Right now it's still in it's infancy.

Today is my cake day! Isn't that great?

lemmy.ml’s mods are marxists and pro-China, even in favor of the fascist atrocities, such as the Uyghur genocide/ethnocide and the Tiananmen Square massacre. Lemmy is open-source and they have indicated that people should use other servers if they don’t believe in those ideals because they mod that server with them in mind. Don’t use lemmy.ml as your base server unless you are a tankie extremist like then.

Those are pretty bold and specific claims. Source?

See https://lemmy.world/comment/311333, also https://lemmy.world/comment/329485.

People should go to whatever instance they feel comfortable with. At the moment, lemmy.ml is closed for signup though.

I feel conflicted about this. Many of the tech guys in Silicon Valley have atrocious, Techo-fascists views (for example Huffman saying that shit about being on top on the post-apocalypse), and I use their products. And it's not like smart people that have produced good things can't have horrible views (see Noam Chomsky on Ukraine). But it's pretty irrefutable that the lemmy.ml guys are red fascists pro-genocide. I hope it doesn't grow much, but I get the feeling that if their mods go full tyrant banning anti-China comments they will lose a lot of people there.

Aren't they also the developers of Lemmy itself? I would guess that is what Lemmy is kind of a play on; Lennin-Marxist. Pretty funny...
