Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That’s a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Welcome new reddit expats!

    Hi, my name is power2bill. Feels odd to not have RIF on my phone. I’m going to lurk for awhile and make a comment every 2-3 months. Hopefully, new communities pop up that I used to go on from reddit. I’ll be here enjoying usefully, and sometimes not useful information. Cheers everyone! 🍻

      I’m finding that quite a lot of communities exist, they just take more work at the moment. For me, I’ve found a uk community but cannot post due to signing up to .world. creating an extra account doesn’t send the verification email. I see all this of teething problems tho as was always the case with reddit.

        I think you might’ve run into another teething problem. This comment seems to be posted 8 times a few minutes apart.

          Yeah, i notice that and tried to cleanup a bit. I think you’re correct tho, it was probably a teething issue

        I assume you’ve worked it out by now but you do not need a second account! Unless you want to move off .world to something smaller and less laggy ofc which I would definitely understand 😅

        What was preventing you from posting there? It should work fine if you search for that community from your current instance (lemmy.world).
