Almost! At the time of this post, lemmy.world has a whopping 25733 users and is growing fast.

Since my last post yesterday, it has added 4000 new users, making it the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there. Also quickly catching up to lemmy.ml's 36000 (not taking new signups).

beehaw.org (3rd largest) sits at 12500 users, partly because of more restrictive registration requirements.

Exciting to see all this growth!

Just joined lemmy.world in response to reddit's BS. Picked this instance because its sounds most normal compared to other gibberish names. Hi everyone!

    Went with lemmy.one because it felt really snappy while navigating communities. I was torn between .world and .one but then I saw that beehaw de-federated from .world which I didn’t like because beehaw has some of the more popular and active subs.

    I realized that there are no downvotes on lemmy? Do I have that right? Wouldn’t downvoting allow for better community moderation?

    Got it. Yeah reading more about it in some threads now. Can you downvote my posts from your instance while it’s disabled on my instance?

    Lol, interesting! So I guess the downvote will have weight when viewing from .world for yourself and fellow .world users, but it won’t offer any weight on .one?

    If I have that right it’s a very cool example of instances curating content for their local community members in a way that works for them. Doesn’t mean I won’t see someone’s comment, but a user that got buried may have a chance of being heard by other communities. Very cool.

    It works like this:

    Essentially when you view his post on lemmy.one while logged into lemmy.world, you are not actually viewing the post on lemmy.one but a cached copy of the post on lemmy.world.

    Lemmy.world allows downvotes so you click the button. It updates the cached copy on lemmy.world with your downvote and then send an update over to lemmy.one telling it about the downvote and to please do the same to keep the original post in sync with the copy. Lemmy.one ignores this update and chooses to retain the original based on its rules.
