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!

I used Redact to edit out all my Reddit posts and deleted my accounts when Apollo died. Bring on the distributed communities! (Also this is weird and new and I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing, but it's exciting!)

I'm actually surprised its not more some instances grew by multiples right?

Lemmy's gonna have some apps, but I can't wait until Kbin has an app too! Been really liking this so far.

The impressive thing is the active user ratio of over 25%! Good job everyone.

8k user instance owner requires 200$ per month to cover server cost. that should 2000$ per month for lemmy.world..and counting

So it is theoretically possible to keep the boat afloat with less than one dollar per user.

per month, yea i assume so

Do you know if costs scale linearly with user count?
