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?
Guess I am one of the 536 newbies hahahaha!
Welcome my friend! Spread the word around. Be part of the resistance!
Yes, trying my best to spread the word!
Welcome!
So, what’s your take on all the Lemmy.ml drama? What do you MEAN you don’t know what I’m talking about??? Is this your first day on Lemmy or something? Oh, it is? Oh.
Ignore me. I’m making bad jokes.
Welcome! Happy to have you!
Welcome to Lemmy!! We are called Lemmings over here! Or whatever you want really. I may have drank too much beer.
Thank you fellow lemming!
