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!

    I’d be one of those users too if I could actually register here. the button just spins forever. Been like that for days now. :\

      Hi, just registered. That was my case, and I simply had to verify my email, which somehow was redirected to the spam folder. So I suggest you check there and verify yours. Good luck.

        Yeah, I’ve seen that suggestion. Haven’t seen anything in my inbox nor spam across 2 email accounts now, so who knows. Searching up the username right now and one does pop up with a creation date that might be mine; no comments or posts lends credence to it being mine, maybe…

      Same happened to me. It’s either the username isn’t available or the password is too long

        the password is too long.

        Uh oh, this is a very bad sign. Make sure you’re not using the same password on Lemmy as on any other service!

      Check if your username is already in use. I got the spin forever issue when the username I was registering was already taken
