Lemmy growth is crazy!

Blahaj zone (the Calckey instance) has been running for around 6 months now. We’ve had a slow but constant growth of new members, with a big spike when Calckey drew a lot of attention. And as a result, even though we’re not a huge instance, we are one of the larger Calckey derived instances around.

lemmy.blahaj.zone on the other hand has seen crazy growth! In the last week, our lemmy instance has gone from almost no members, to nearly as many users as our Calckey instance. The mind blowing part though, is that the lemmy instance isn’t even close to being one of the largest lemmy instances. We don’t even appear on the first page of Fediverse Observer! And the sheer number of lemmy instances online now is huge compared to where it was a couple of weeks ago.

And that’s before we even talk about kbin and the threadiverse as a whole, of which Lemmy is only a part

I can honestly say that this whole thing has shifted my view of just what the future of the fediverse might be. I assumed it would always be microblogging centric, but now, I question that…

      lemmy.ml is overloaded with new users, it’s great that you didn’t register there. You can still talk on this and other communities that are homed on lemmy.ml from your account on lemmy.one. Welcome aboard.

      Not at all! Basically, the difference is mostly that each instance has their own rules and expectations of their users. As long as you end up on an instance that aligns with what you want from an instance, then you’ll be fine :)

      Nope! You can browse, comment, post, and vote on almost any other lemmy site. That’s the beauty of federation.

      If you’re trying to go to a community but it’s not showing up on lemmy.one, copy the full URL of the community and put it in the search bar. That will get the server to “discover” that community. Then try again.
