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?

Sadly /c/piracy is blocked from .world I think.

Apparently it once was but was unblocked

Later on there was drama because they blocked it a second time anyway. xD

E: Their second announcement: https://lemmy.world/post/13320356

Announcement stands at a high number of downvotes. The people have spoken, the admins did not listen.

It was, and that is why a lot of us left .world

Piracy is my canary in the world wide coal mine.

What instance did you go to then? I don't keep up on "the best" instances, or those that defederate or block certain things. I was part of kbin.social at first, then moved to .world.

Lemm.ee the one that shows in my account name. They prioritize uptime and connection/association. We choose what instances and communities we want to see. Blocking is our responsibility and privilege.

Big uptick for us at bhzon recently, but a degree of magnitude less than this
