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?

My instance is small potatoes, so no new applications for me (so far). =(

For what it's worth, your instance name is spectacular!

Good, the Piracy community over on dbzer0 is much better than the subreddit anyways.

Holy shit! Nice!

And haven't noticed instance specific influx but recently there are a lot of users posting/commenting that have the "baby badge" on Voyager app, meaning the account is new. Feel like this influx of new users already started last week.

Haven't been on reddit since I deleted my account during the blackouts / API fiasco and man, Lemmy/Fediverse has been fun.

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?

to any new user, or new lurker, welcome!! the begining is kinda shit, but it was as well when you started on instagram/reddit/tiktok, you just dont remember it. i dont remember my upstart into the fediverse because it has been such a short part of my independent-net journey.

Nice!

And to answer your last question, yes. Jlailu is having an influx of new users coming mostly from r/France. From what I’ve read they’re coming after the r/whitepeopletweets (or something like that) ban.

I tried to join dbzer0 and got rejected without any reason—did I pick the wrong pirate (I liked Rackham on Black Sails)

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 3 days ago

The current Lemmy UI doesn't display the reason. use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to login and you should see the reason. In any case, please join our appeals channel (it's in the sidebar) and we can sort you out.
