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!

Thanks! I was very lucky to get it. Finding the domain (name) is the longest part of the process for me. I go through so many permutations before actually pulling the trigger on one.

What is it? Looks like badass something but the Voyager app doesn't scroll it.

Socal or social?

Edited! Haha I ruined it, the social is the whole point 🤦‍♀️

All good, social is hard and anxiety provoking!

That instance name is great!

Do you want me to make an alt? I'm not new anymore but I do account for quite some number when it comes to so called "monthly active user" ;-)

Is X available?

Lemmy has a 3 character minimum though
