Lemmy.world grew by about 40% on the first day of reddit migration
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!

As a new user from reddit, wanted to say thanks for welcoming us and working hard to accommodate us!
Lots of us new folks around! Also great there are so many apps being developed for Lemmy. Although the web UI is also pretty good.
I've seen so many helpful posts since joining yesterday, thank you to everyone for welcoming all of us, keeping servers running, posting helpful info on how to Lemmy, etc. - Happy to have a new home!
