Hopefully they're all a real people and not bots or something.

I signed up and then went to bed. I'm assuming the world took that as a sign and followed me. Or perhaps I should cut down on the hard drugs, idk

I joined a couple days ago. I decided to just sign up and jump in. Everyone else doing it, why can't I?

This is my first post, I just signed up. I was on reddit from the early days. I liked it then a lot more. This has that feel. I also like that it is open source - hopefully that will bring more developers.

In my opinion, the output of the disastrous Zoom meeting with the moderators & community of /r/Blind .

Reddit leadership made it clear that they have nothing but contempt for their users. They essentially refused to answer essential questions for the disabled Reddit community.

I guess Spez thinks nobody will care as long as they get their fill of GIFs and pics? I have no idea. I'm not closing out my account, but whatever reddit intended to sell to me, I'm not buying it.

I'm just here so i don't get fined. created an account because the developer for my reddit app is working on One for lemmy. So figured I'd give this a try

No idea myself but we have to remember that not all the users that come try this will stay, so I anticipate once the Reddit nonsense blows over the community will shrink a bit. I am going to stay, but I was "lemmy curious" before the reddit business.

I dunno, but I've noticed that lemmy.ml had a bunch of bot and spam bots today to ban, and both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world have defederated with a bunch more instances compared to the other day. I wonder if the registration exploit has been patched.

People that have ~1 week of ping time (as yours truly) are finally getting to their todo list item of checking alternatives to Reddit and making an account and first posts :)

This is getting so much larger! It's doubled again while active users aren't changing much. We may need to figure out this bot problem.

People are tired of Reddit's abusive policies and of not be heard, and this is our response. I will keep use Reddit thanks to an user which made this, and thanks to the dev of Infinity for make it open source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c2v5x/build_your_own_apk_with_your_personal_api_key_in/

But I will remain here on Lemmy with Jerboa and see how it evolves.

Someone mentioned it on a Reddit post about mods so I'm giving it a go. Stopped Twitter a while back and don't use Facebook. I like the concept of aggregated content around topics I'm interested in just not by evil companies.

Is https://botsin.space/@threadcount on drugs? It is showing lemmy/kbin at 437,000 right now

This is probably just the first big wave. The biggest will be when the apps themselves actually shut down - fence sitters will then have to make a choice to download the official app or try an alternative and I think a lot of people will be curious to see if the grass is greener.

There was a post that has code snippet that tells lemmy admins to turn on email verification and captcha.

And then lemmy.world admin turned off signup for a little while to clean up bot accounts.

Then account numbers jumped 84k in one day.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

A lot of us haven’t been able to create accounts due to high activity. It looks like account creation requests have finally started going through.

This has to have something to do with the newly discovered API exploit to rapidly create accounts without any limits, right? Instances without captcha or email verification are vulnerable still, AFAIK.

Pretty sure it's hexbear joining back into mainline lemmy

Is it not because of hexbear deforking?

Oh, that must have been me.

meeee

The jump is caused by Spez being a twat.
