1000 users!

lemmy.world just reached 1000 users.

Please remember that the server was created June 1st! So still might notice some startup issues... but so far so good! Welcome @all!

At this rate we'll hit 2000 in the next hour...
- You can thank reddit CEO lol, he just held the most pathetic AMA I've seen, people are even angrier than before :D
  
  p.s. also watch out for next Monday, that's when the reddit blackout begins
- Are you personally paying the server costs? How can we help subsidize?
  
  Ah. There's a donation link on the front page. Just set up a recurring donation.
  
  I would totally donate for running costs.
- At this point you will be probably the biggest instance before the start of the new week 😂
  
  Well let's see if it doesn't crash before that. I can scale the hardware but not sure about scaling the software yet..
- Is there somewhere the numbers are tracked?
  
  I use grafana for that. Might make that public someday
  
  Yes. You can find the info in the sidebar
- aiii whoooo!
My first comment, can't wait to use Lemmy for the next 15 years.

Fuck /u/spez!
- Ah, you must also have been part of the original Digg exodus then?
  
  Yes but I actually liked Kevin, I enjoyed all the side video podcast and skits they did on the side.
  
  And slashdot before that. Narwhals and whisky and all that. But we don't talk about usenet. And here we are again.
  
  PS it's way too easy to accidentally block people on here. And then I had to go to a deeply buried settings page to unblock you again.
- Why only 15 years?! Why can do better!
  
  Great thing about fediverse, maybe @ruup goes full blown tyrannical, we can go over to another server.
  
  If it's possible to build perpetual social media, this is how it would look
I can Digg this place
- Hello fellow Digg refugee.
Over 2k5 already. Stats page says 2.52k
- Yup, that's how fast it goes!
- where can I see the stats?
  
  At least on the mobile web page, there is a button near the top of the page that says Sidebar. That will give basic stats like total users on the instance.
Is this where the cool kids are hanging these days? (Just joined as a refugee from that other place)
- No just the grumpy old people. 😄
  
  Dammit! Why does everywhere I go turn out to be where the grumpy old people hang out?
  
  Oh...
Just signed up myself! Long time RIF/old.reddit user, hoping to find new (better!) communities. Hello everyone!
- Same here! ✊
- 👋
Just noticed lemmy.world is now 1 of the 4 instances recommended on join-lemmy. Congratulations on that too!
Hello fellow reddit refugees. Very interested in learning Lemmy and figuring out how contribute to the community.
- Good evening! All new to me too! Looking forward to figuring things out for a new start!
Wasn't it at like 200 just 2-3 days ago? That's a massive increase!
- Yeah the server was just installed June 1st. Growth is crazy.
  
  (But I've seen crazier with mastodon.world, which had 4000 new users per hour at the peak..
  
  There is still time to see that sort of growth on here, particularly when reddit goes dark next week or shortly after that
That's great! I remember just a few days ago that it had only 100 users, it's growing quickly!
It seems a bit laggy to me, but that's hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! 👍
- Can you tell me what's laggy? Only thing I noticed is the 'Post' or 'Reply' that takes too long.
  
  Pretty much everything has a bit of lag on my end. Not complaining, I understand why, just letting you know.
  
  The post thing is weird. Even when I'm on lemmy.world, but post on communities from other instances it seems pretty fast. But posting on a local community is slow. Very weird. Locks on a table somewhere?
  
  I'm still taking some time to post but it's certainly better than before your upgrade.
  
  EDIT: Still ~10 seconds or so for this comment.
  
  Replying takes a good 6 or 7 seconds for me right now.
appreciate you providing this service ♥️
Hi from beehaw! Welcome to the fediverse and glad to have all of you join us!
Congrats! Thanks for accepting me. I can't wait to see where this site goes!
Just made a new general Star Wars community! I have no idea how to grow something like that, so any Star Wars fans come on over and help!
- You should link it
That's great. Is this like the main page or what?
- Another Reddit refugee here. I guess after June 30th member numbers will explode?
  
  I hope. So far my friends seem hesitant to leave Reddit.
Congrats!! That's quite a milestone in such a short period :)

Edit: sorry if this is not the proper place to ask but is there a way to donate for server expenses?
- I just added donation info to the sidebar, see home page.
  
  Great! thanks
  
  What are the running costs like?
Omg nice! Glad to join the ranks!
Yeehaw!

How can we make it 2000?
- I'm doing my part. Just joined. The king is dead. Long live the king!
Finally managed to create an account! Phew… Hi Folks
Glad to be here for the party!
- We're glad to have you! Here is your champagne 🥂
おはようございます
- おはようございます！！
- こんにちは
  
  はじめまして。ウェストフォドです。よろしくおねがいします。
Hi everyone, another Reddit migrant. I've been playing around a few Lemmy communities with my Mastodon account but got fed up with Mastodon's interface for interacting with Lemmy communities and decided to join a real instance. Lemmy.world seems like a pretty cool place in the Threadiverse, thanks for having me!
To the ~~moon~~world!
Congrats! I like the vibe here
Holy shit. Congratulations I guess? 😄
Fun times. Glad to be here!
Congratulations!
Just joined myself, I have a feeling there will be an even bigger influx of users soon.
Excited to see where it will all go!
Wow that was quick! Go us 🥳
newest user of lemmy.world here!
- I'm the new kid on the block, hello old timer!
Hurray! My first post here
- Welcome!
You're doing great bud! If you need help LMK!
Hi folks, just joined Lemmy to see what it's all about. This seemed like a good thread (is that the term?) to make a first comment :-)
- Sure is! Welcome to the club!
  
  Cheers! Looking forward to find out more, feels very promising already.
You must be very proud
Mildly Infuriating has nearly hit that milestone too! I am so excited for the future of Lemmy! GG everyone! 👍😄
Great to be here folks!
Great to see the progress!
Hello world! Came over from reddit. Excited to try something new
wohoo glad to be here
Congrats! Hope it only grows from here
That's great news!
- Weird question are you the same person who made the Dash-to-Dock extension for gnome?
  
  No, that wasn't me.
congrats!
Am I indirectly supporting lemmy devs by being on lemmy.world? I'd rather not be supporting tankies.
- Just by using their software. They have no other involvement in this server.
Ohi~
Congrats! Excited to be here and see it all start!
Very cool! Are there any plans for a mobile app?
- There's already a mobile app for the entire Lemmy community though, and it's Jerboa
  
  Not the person who asked, but thanks for this, just installed it and it's great!
  
  What instance do I use btw
  
  Thanks
