EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳

We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

    But they do want your email address. Even Reddit didn’t require that.

      Even if they don’t require it, it’s always a good idea to setup your email, it’s necessary to recover your password in case of problems.

        On these types of forums I always figure if I forget my password then it’s time to make a new account anyway.

        Nothing I post here is essential to me, and I can always find past exchanges from any random account.

        And personally, I figure the longer I post under a single persona, the easier it is to connect that persona to my real identity. So account switching is good every once in a while.
