The user count at the moment of this post stands at 33279 and continues to grow!
To take the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (36185 users and no longer growing), lemmy.world just needs about 3000 new users. Given the current growth rate, that should only be another day or two.
We’re building something here! Kudos to lemmy.world admin @ruud@lemmy.world for all of his hard work keeping this site running smoothly.

New Lemmy user here. Why does this matter? Isn’t the point of Lemmy to be spread across many servers? I don’t understand why one server would want to be popular. Is there an advantage of some sort? It kinda seems like being the most popular Tor exit node or something.
