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?

Yes surprisingly. I haven't advertised at all yet, but we had 8 people join.

Your homepage shows [email protected] and [email protected] as the most active communities, is it on purpose?

Couldn't imagine a piracy community on reddit feeling good about its future.

Reddit will literally change its rules to get rid of communities it doesn't like. They did it with DarkNetMarkets.

Unfathomably based.

Oh man, I am both happy for the instance, and sorry for you lol. I hope you find somebody soon to help with going over all those applications. I don't envy you, to be honest.

Sadly /c/piracy is blocked from .world I think.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

That was reverted more than a year ago, or was it not?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

nope, I just joined a month ago, and made other accoutns because of it, dbzero itself isnt blocked tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Still can't see it, but maybe that's just me?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Everyone remember to be kind to the newbies, not assume that they immediately understand how the fediverse works, and not to talk about your favourite Linux distro until the second date
