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!

Which lemmy would you recommend? I chose world because I thought it's the international version since there's no lemmy specific for my country.

You can check out this page that keeps an updated list of "recommended" instances based on their performance and various other stats. Take a peek and see if their rules sound like something you want to be part of.

I'm posting from my secondary account on lemm.ee , which is a another nice general purpose server that's very responsive performance wise.

I'm on lemmy.one and have had zero issues

Someone shared this instance map yesterday. It's not a complete map of instances as far as I can tell, but perhaps it can help you find a smaller one closer to you.

Mali and Estonia seem popular for some reason.

If I had to guess, the latter is because of lemm.ee, whose admin is from there (according to GitHub).

I'm on Lemm.ee it's been good to me. Ran smooth during the migration.

Yeah I’m happy with the performance on lemm.ee so far. I was on lemmy.world but I kept running to “failed to fetch” errors and overall slowness. I’m not surprised, given by how many users are on lemmy.world, but it goes to show the importance of decentralization for Lemmy (and the fediverse in general).
