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?
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.
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.
Welcome! We’ve been waiting for you!
Yes surprisingly. I haven’t advertised at all yet, but we had 8 people join.
Your homepage shows !thenewdonald@lemmyusa.com and !trumpstruth@lemmyusa.com as the most active communities, is it on purpose?
