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?
to the new users:
Ahoy, mateys
Couldn’t imagine a piracy community on reddit feeling good about its future.
Reddit will literally change its rules to get rid of communities it doesn’t like. They did it with DarkNetMarkets.
Sadly /c/piracy is blocked from .world I think.
My advice to newbies is to just sign up for whatever, then change later if ya need to. I think I tried 2 other instances before i found the one that fit best for me
When referring to communities on Lemmy please use the proper link format. !community@instance
Unfathomably based.
Oh man, I am both happy for the instance, and sorry for you lol. I hope you find somebody soon to help with going over all those applications. I don’t envy you, to be honest.
Big uptick for us at bhzon recently, but a degree of magnitude less than this
Welcome! We’ve been waiting for you!
Yes surprisingly. I haven’t advertised at all yet, but we had 8 people join.
Is this really just the “backup site”? Boo, I say. Boooooo.
Also, wasn’t Reddit banning links to Lemmy or something? Maybe that was only in the run-up to the IPO?
Edit: elsewhere in this thread people are saying that trying to link to lemmy.world fails, and trying to link to lemmy.ml fails, but you can still link to other lemmy instances?
Welcome aboard!
How do I add your piracy community to my boost app?
Nothing spectacular on discuss.online.
Well, welcome to moron city.
