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?

...the fingers :o

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 17 points 10 months ago

Yeah... Lemmings are not perfect and ok with other people disabilities (^_-)

One less finger, or one extra finger? 🤔

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 4 points 10 months ago

Good question. I don't know how many fingers a lemming has neither do I know how many a mouse has. I use a mouse in the prompt as @aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com does not know what animal is a lemming.
