Lemmy.world has grown by about 66.6% since reddit's API shutdown
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!

The API hasn't shut down yet. I don't know wtf they are doing at reddit hq but many of the apps, and nsfw posts, still work completely normally with no changes.
Already planning their next disaster.
They're not shutting down the API. They're letting devs accrue usage and will send them a bill later
I thought they weren't going to shut down the API, they were going to start charging for it. So 3rd party apps that are still going will start getting bills?
They were also going to block all nsfw content but it's still there.
