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?

I'm simply suggesting new comers to learn how this place works. If people get scared over how a software works it's even more evidence that we need to help them understand.

But they don't want to? What next?

It's not much work and it's a good investment it's also not as bad as you may think because there's plenty of enjoyment in learning and understanding stuff
