Wow, we have doubled in size in around a week! Next week should be interesting!

Any idea how the other Lemmies are faring? I’d guess ml must be expanding significantly faster….

Interesting, I wonder what happened in Nov'22 for the users to drop so much.

Looks like a data error that was corrected because the numbers went up the same amount two months earlier.

Those stats are heartening.

lemmy.world also went past 1k registrations yesterday.

Someone also recently posted a graph of the user numbers over the past few months

oooh very cool!

They're just over 2.7k right now, probably be over 3k by end of day.

I wouldn't expect our 1.1k to balloon nearly as quickly, but it will be nice to snag more Canadians from the reddit-exodus.

When I was looking for an instance to sign up a few days ago, lemmy.ml had a notice suggesting people sign up on another instance, as they're being absolutely flooded with new people. Seems like a good problem to have

according to archive.org, on June 1 .ml was at 26.7k, and they are now at 32.9k, so that's quite a gain in just over a week.

they are also working on (and i think close to releasing) some performance improvements which should help too.
