lemmy.world just reached 1000 users.
Please remember that the server was created June 1st! So still might notice some startup issues… but so far so good! Welcome @all!
Over 2k5 already. Stats page says 2.52k
Yup, that’s how fast it goes!
where can I see the stats?
At least on the mobile web page, there is a button near the top of the page that says Sidebar. That will give basic stats like total users on the instance.
At this rate we’ll hit 2000 in the next hour…
You can thank reddit CEO lol, he just held the most pathetic AMA I’ve seen, people are even angrier than before :D
p.s. also watch out for next Monday, that’s when the reddit blackout begins
At this point you will be probably the biggest instance before the start of the new week 😂
Well let’s see if it doesn’t crash before that. I can scale the hardware but not sure about scaling the software yet…
Since the front end is TS docker it should be easy to scale with kubernetes. I have no idea about the rust backend though.
Yes but there’s no scaling that helps bad queries :-)
Are you personally paying the server costs? How can we help subsidize?
Ah. There’s a donation link on the front page. Just set up a recurring donation.
I would totally donate for running costs.
Is there somewhere the numbers are tracked?
I use grafana for that. Might make that public someday

This makes me happy for Lemmy, lemmy.world, and of course Grafana is amazing
My first comment, can’t wait to use Lemmy for the next 15 years.
Fuck /u/spez!
Ah, you must also have been part of the original Digg exodus then?
And slashdot before that. Narwhals and whisky and all that. But we don’t talk about usenet. And here we are again.
PS it’s way too easy to accidentally block people on here. And then I had to go to a deeply buried settings page to unblock you again.
Thanks for the unblock. And hey, you learned something new. I’m actually thinking of going back on Usenet.
Yes but I actually liked Kevin, I enjoyed all the side video podcast and skits they did on the side.
Oh yeah the whole gang was great for a while, until it all got fucked.
I still dream of tikibar TV once and awhile
Why only 15 years?! Why can do better!
Great thing about fediverse, maybe @ruup goes full blown tyrannical, we can go over to another server.
If it’s possible to build perpetual social media, this is how it would look
Is this where the cool kids are hanging these days? (Just joined as a refugee from that other place)
No just the grumpy old people. 😄
Dammit! Why does everywhere I go turn out to be where the grumpy old people hang out?
Oh…
It’s a mystery!
Hi from beehaw! Welcome to the fediverse and glad to have all of you join us!
Just signed up myself! Long time RIF/old.reddit user, hoping to find new (better!) communities. Hello everyone!
Same here! ✊
👋
Mildly Infuriating has nearly hit that milestone too! I am so excited for the future of Lemmy! GG everyone! 👍😄
Fun times. Glad to be here!
Just made a new general Star Wars community! I have no idea how to grow something like that, so any Star Wars fans come on over and help!
You should link it
Congrats! Hope it only grows from here
I can Digg this place
Hello fellow reddit refugees. Very interested in learning Lemmy and figuring out how contribute to the community.
Good evening! All new to me too! Looking forward to figuring things out for a new start!
It seems a bit laggy to me, but that’s hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! 👍
Can you tell me what’s laggy? Only thing I noticed is the ‘Post’ or ‘Reply’ that takes too long.
Pretty much everything has a bit of lag on my end. Not complaining, I understand why, just letting you know.
Am I indirectly supporting lemmy devs by being on lemmy.world? I’d rather not be supporting tankies.
Just by using their software. They have no other involvement in this server.
