Does lemmy.world really have 28300 users already?
Yes, it really does!
Since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added about new 2600 users, bringing the user count to 28361 users. It's the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there and quickly closing in on lemmy.ml's 36k users (not taking new signups).
Interestingly, third-largest lemmy instance beehaw.org seems to have lost about 275 users since yesterday. Guessing some people were pissed off about its defederation enough to delete their beehaw accounts?

Get ready for a larger influx on July 1st
Yeah, I can’t wait for that. Hopefully the servers/instances are ready.
Why July 1st?
July 1st most API driven 3rd party stuff gets shut down because of exorbitant API charges.
Didn't know it was such a fast turnaround.
Ridiculous right.
Literally crazy!
That’s part of why the 3rd party’s are shutting down. Should’ve been a year transition.
That's when Reddit will change their API pricing and some third-party apps like Apollo will shut down.
Didn't know it was such a fast turn around for that, damn!
