Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!

I was using Bacon Reader for Android for the last 10 years. For me it was the only way of using Reddit. I'm now checking Lemmy. I hope we can build a vibrant community here. I'm not coming back to Reddit.
Also a fellow ex-Bacon Reader user, same deal. So far I'm using Connect for Lemmy to try to get a similar feel, what app are you using?
Liftup, which is somewhat close to BaconReader too. Couldn't use Jerboa due to it not connecting to lemmy.world at the time I joined.
Tried wefwef too and it's great, but the iOS-adjacent UX is not right for me.
