Welcome my friend! Spread the word around. Be part of the resistance!
Yes, trying my best to spread the word!
Welcome!
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.

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

I’m not a Lemmy admin, but from what I’m seeing, there’s been an uptick of 4,000 Lemmy registrations within the last 24 hours.
There’s now 477,048 Lemmy accounts.
Whaaaaa???? Last I heard there was like 60k Lemmy accounts total. What the fuck happened since October???

2025 the year of lemmy
and the linux desktop
I switched fully over and am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting my life. No more easy defaults of VS Code, back to custom configuring my emacs. No more surveillance, self-hosting and encryption. No more shitty windows gaming, Linux and Proton for gaming bliss!

I migrated from reddit today. Thanks to r/piracy post. So far it's amazing. I am using the Eternity app for Android which is the same as the Infinity app for reddit so UI is similar
Just a heads up, I see you joined lemmy.world , the dbzer0 piracy community that I think you may have come for is blocked there, so may not be able to access it from where you are.
I know it's kinda confusing.

Holy shit! Nice!
And haven't noticed instance specific influx but recently there are a lot of users posting/commenting that have the "baby badge" on Voyager app, meaning the account is new. Feel like this influx of new users already started last week.
Haven't been on reddit since I deleted my account during the blackouts / API fiasco and man, Lemmy/Fediverse has been fun.

My instance is small potatoes, so no new applications for me (so far). =(
That instance name is great!

Good, the Piracy community over on dbzer0 is much better than the subreddit anyways.
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

My advice to newbies is to just sign up for whatever, then change later if ya need to. I think I tried 2 other instances before i found the one that fit best for me

When referring to communities on Lemmy please use the proper link format. !community@instance
Sadly /c/piracy is blocked from .world I think.
I am very much aware 
Yeah that and the stance towards thre*ds was what showed me that I don't want be live on .world.

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.

The best instance on lemmy grows ever stronger ✊️
I tried to join dbzer0 and got rejected without any reason—did I pick the wrong pirate (I liked Rackham on Black Sails)
The current Lemmy UI doesn't display the reason. use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to login and you should see the reason. In any case, please join our appeals channel (it's in the sidebar) and we can sort you out.
