Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit’s API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!

    Pretty sure Lemmy is getting a ton of reddit users now that they pretty much ruined the user experience by making 3rd party app developers to pay money to use their api.

    I just created an account here… I won’t be returning to reddit!

      Went from lurker to user today actually. It wasn’t even the apps it was just the awful attitude towards users.
