The Adult Metaverse community on Google Plus has just crossed the 1,000 member mark. With 135 new members since the start of August, it is the fastest-growing OpenSim-specific community on the platform.
DigiWorldz was in second place by growth, with 89 new members bringing it to a total count of 125 members — still not enough to make the top 15 list.
OpenSim Virtual retained its spot as the largest OpenSim-specific community, gaining 57 members to bring it to a new total of 1,568.
Google Plus has become a favorite social platform for OpenSim users because it allows pseudonyms, is easy to use, and has plenty of social features and calendar integration, and is good for search engine optimization. In addition, many of these communities are open groups, which means that people don’t have to be registered members in order to see the announcements and discussions.
