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?

So, what's your take on all the Lemmy.ml drama? What do you MEAN you don't know what I'm talking about??? Is this your first day on Lemmy or something? Oh, it is? Oh.

Ignore me. I'm making bad jokes.

In all seriousness, and a nutshell, is that something to avoid? Trying to learn!

Welcome to Lemmy!! We are called Lemmings over here! Or whatever you want really. I may have drank too much beer.

Thank you fellow lemming!

Your username implies the existence of a lesser, regular jimboomba.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Fwiw, I prefer Fedizen, bc it works for other things too like Mastodon, Mbin, PieFed (where I'm typing this from btw), Friendica, etc.

But yeah, where you are, Lemming works too I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hello fellow Fedizen!!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Hello! Now let's go grab a beer... 🍻

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I like fedizen too, and threadiverse for lemmy,mbin,piefed, etc. (or when accessing the threadiverse through friendica, hubzilla, etc.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Threadiverse does sound to me too much like Threads... but that's dead anyway so meh, whatever, Threadiverse it is then! (Especially since iirc our usage of it predated that of Threads anyway)

And Fedizen makes me feel so... responsible? 😎

Now have a beer: 🍻😄
