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?

I switched fully over and am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting my life. No more easy defaults of VS Code, back to custom configuring my emacs. No more surveillance, self-hosting and encryption. No more shitty windows gaming, Linux and Proton for gaming bliss!

Dam even switched over to Emacs. My dude you didn't have to go that far. :)

I finally wiped the windows partition off my main home PC last week. Feels good, man.

It's still commercial, proprietary software

Vscodium has been a very usable replacement for me. You lose some of the ms first party plugins (ssh being the most notable) but largely it just works otherwise.

I use this extension to get SSH support for VSCodium It works great!
