As a result, our instance https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ got 625 new user registrations (of which 536 where accepted) in the past 24 hours! And the registrations are not abating even now. We still get like 10 new ones per hour!
I suspect this is probably the largest advertisement, for lemmy specifically, since the main reddit blackouts 1.5 years ago.
Have your own instances also seen an influx of new users?
Yep! Took two tries as well. I got banned from one because literally my second comment pissed off the mod! Im already loving Lemmy.
Drag has a friend who got instance banned on first comment lmao
Lol!
Yeah it’s a bit the wild west here, you can say fuck and post about whatever you want, but there are also some intricate rules on some servers/communities but peopke are mostly very helpful. This place IMO is absolutely fantastic.
Gooble gobble one of us! One of us!
