Lemmy.world grew by about 40% on the first day of reddit migration
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 know its only one data point, but I just logged on to see how many people were online in a sub i used to frequent and it was down 30-50%, the lowest numbers i've seen all year.
Holiday weekend too. Might be messy data points
I do site traffic for a living and it can be some of the lower weekends for non-commerce sites
After i read your comment, i thought "Nah, its a worldwide community" and when i checked back a few hours ago, its pretty much back to usual. Oh well.
Well I’m new here so there’s one more data point. I figure if this thing doesn’t bug out, continues to function and servers can handle growth, it’s got no reason to shrink.
I'm curious to check stuff like that, but I'm refusing. Just checking it counts as traffic, and I don't want them to mistake my morbid curiosity for me still using it.
It would be fascinating to see the traffic and usage comparison for Reddit over time to get an idea of genuinely how many people are moving away and staying away.
