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!

Similar for me but, Apollo. Reddit was only tolerable because of Apollo, and now that it’s gone, I am too. wefwef is quite close to it though. Im enjoying it so far.

    Wefwef is amazing, how can someone make it so quickly while the reddit app sucks?

    Wefwef is a labor of the love and passion of its creator. I'm guessing the Reddit app devs are burned out and constantly getting requests like "How can we integrate Blockchain into the app?" and "Is it possible to add ads to the comment section?"
