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?

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.

Excellent pirate choice!

I was accepted, and my pick was Jean Lafitte. High seas pirates are allowed but maybe because I picked a real one and you picked a character! Try again.

Rackham aka Calico Jack was a real pirate tho
