The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots! (www.reddit.com)

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?

It's not really the backup since last year, but the primary, but reddit won't let me shut down /r/piracy and the other mods who took over my top spot after reddit removed me still believe in reddit, so they refuse to leave and call lemmy still the backup.

Yep. I made a point to troll then with that at the time.
