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?

For anyone new: consider investing 10 minutes to learn how lemmy works and why decentralized and open source is better than proprietary and centralized platforms like reddit.

That'll teach em! You can't just sign up, first you gotta read some 20 minute long post from gnu.org

Nobody is forcing you but you should really consider investing 20 minutes in learning how lemmy is different. You may think it's not that serious but look at where popular centralized platforms are heading to, now that bad actors are taking full control the problem cannot be ignored

I see your argument and I am playing in the same field, but in reality you will scare average users away with that kind of stuff.

I'm simply suggesting new comers to learn how this place works. If people get scared over how a software works it's even more evidence that we need to help them understand.

But they don't want to? What next?

It's not much work and it's a good investment it's also not as bad as you may think because there's plenty of enjoyment in learning and understanding stuff
