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?

Huh, we have had users signing up at a higher rate than usual, but we go through bursts and we are generally pretty low volume so I thought nothing of it. Amazing to see you make the front page!

Welcome aboard!

Hopefully at least half of them stick around; the MAU count is much more impactful in terms of post frequency and variety than the total number of users in general.
