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!
Welcome new reddit expats!
I’m finding that quite a lot of communities exist, they just take more work at the moment. For me, I’ve found a uk community but cannot post due to signing up to .world. creating an extra account doesn’t send the verification email. I see all this of teething problems tho as was always the case with reddit.
I think you might’ve run into another teething problem. This comment seems to be posted 8 times a few minutes apart.
