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?

to any new user, or new lurker, welcome!! the begining is kinda shit, but it was as well when you started on instagram/reddit/tiktok, you just dont remember it. i dont remember my upstart into the fediverse because it has been such a short part of my independent-net journey.

Nice!

And to answer your last question, yes. Jlailu is having an influx of new users coming mostly from r/France. From what I’ve read they’re coming after the r/whitepeopletweets (or something like that) ban.

Huh, we have had users signing up at a higher rate than usual, but we go through bursts and we are generally pretty low volume so I thought nothing of it. Amazing to see you make the front page!
