This is the growth of our lemmy instance, without any advertising or spruiking. It was spun up as a test more than anything else, but it seems that it has become more than that!

Even though the graph shows the growth spike from April to June, in reality it's even more stark than that. We have gone from 20 users to 100 users in a week!

We'll be spinning up a kbin instance soon too, and when we do, we might shut down registration on the lemmy instance. We'll keep them up for now though, given the load on lemmy.ml from reddit migrations

That post was made 8 days ago. We're over 1000 users now! It has been crazy!

Yikes, that says something about my attention to detail I guess haha. Regardless, thanks for your efforts! Do you have a means by which to accept donations for server costs perchance?

Not at the moment. We're ok absorbing the costs for now. We might set something up in the future, but it's not a priority
