Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Welcome new reddit expats!

Totally agree. I stopped using Apollo 2 weeks ago to get myself adjusted early but felt like there was something missing each day.

Using Lemmy right now really feels like that void has now been filled.

If you used Apollo before, I think you should definitely try WefWef app in browser (wefwef.app zite), it is incredible!

Cheers. I’ve placed it where Apollo used to be on my homepage. Its almost indistinguishable.

Yeah, wefwef is really cool.
