Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.
With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!
What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?

As a neighbor, I appreciate your empty defederation list. Too many lemmy instances start off with the atom bomb instead of user or community bans in response to bad behavior from individuals.
I hope you have lots of success. This side of the fediverse really needs more intellectual diversity, and I get the feeling that’s what I’ll continue to see from lemmy.world.
The only thing I’d be okay with defederating from is lemmygrad. It’s only half satire and a wholeheartedly hateful place. It’s a fast track to the reddit communities that would be removed for spreading hate and extremism. It’s enevitably going become a misinformation chamber. Fuck that place… Should cut the cancer out now before it metastasizes.
