At 6.18k upvotes, this is higher than the most upvoted Reddit post in July 2008, three years after its launch. Lemmy.world is like, one month old as far as I know?

Lemmy is actually a few years old now. I couldn't find exactly when it was started, but it was at least 3 years ago. Although from my understanding it was a fairly barren place until it obviously blew up a month ago

Lemmy.world only started in June though, that's what I was referring to. Although yes, if you count the whole "lemmyverse" as a single platform it's pretty much as old as Reddit was at the time.

My mistake! I misread your comment, thinking you said just Lemmy instead of Lemmy.world
