Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!
That's impressive! It also definitely explains why lemmy.world has been slow to respond in my Lemmy app.
Can't recommend spinning up a second account on a smaller instance enough. It's made the experience so much faster than it was using my account on .world

You can check out this page that keeps an updated list of "recommended" instances based on their performance and various other stats. Take a peek and see if their rules sound like something you want to be part of.
I'm posting from my secondary account on lemm.ee , which is a another nice general purpose server that's very responsive performance wise.
