I feel like there's been a sudden influx on new active aussie.zone users. Coincidence, or did something happen? (aussie.zone)

I know other instances have grown a lot due to media attention, reddit making silly decisions or banning communities. Did anything similar happen or is this just a thing that thinged?

Edit: having a closer look, some of the names I thought were new are people who've had accounts for years but have mostly been posting to other instances so I didn't see them. So maybe I'm only seeing them on higher-scoring local posts

It's a steady two or so new accounts per day. Occasionally Reddit does something silly and we get a wave of them, but that hasn't happened for a few months.

Reddit did something silly and I’m in the process of moving on. A few things actually.

Lemmy was recommended as a good substitute, this instance seemed the best, so here I am.
