Does lemmy.world really have 22000 users already?

MicroWave@lemmy.world to Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world – 144 points –

Since my last post yesterday, lemmy.world has added over 3000 new users, bringing the total user count to 22000 today (source: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). It firmly holds the position of the second-largest lemmy instance, surpassing beehaw.org by a significant margin of 10000 users.

In other news, beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world a few hours ago. How does the third-largest instance only have 4 mods for its 12000 users?!

So much going on!

Ok ChatGPT.

Can people please not do that?

Try and stop me.

Haha no. I thought you are a bot account that responded to some keywords and saw that this isn't the case after I sent my comment. I'm not a fan of copying ChatGPT answers, but this is still very different.
