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?

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

[-] [email protected] 52 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

For what it's worth, your instance name is spectacular!

[-] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

Thanks! I was very lucky to get it. Finding the domain (name) is the longest part of the process for me. I go through so many permutations before actually pulling the trigger on one.

What is it? Looks like badass something but the Voyager app doesn't scroll it.

Socal or social?

social

Nothing against Southern California =)

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Edited! Haha I ruined it, the social is the whole point 🤦‍♀️

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

All good, social is hard and anxiety provoking!

[-] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

That instance name is great!

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Is X available?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Lemmy has a 3 character minimum though

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Do you want me to make an alt? I'm not new anymore but I do account for quite some number when it comes to so called "monthly active user" ;-)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Lol I added an is. prefix

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago
