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’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.

As one of those newbies?
Hi. It is the two millionth day of September, give or take a few thousand.

Good, the Piracy community over on dbzer0 is much better than the subreddit anyways.
My instance is small potatoes, so no new applications for me (so far). =(

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.

The best instance on lemmy grows ever stronger ✊️
Is this really just the "backup site"? Boo, I say. Boooooo.
Also, wasn't Reddit banning links to Lemmy or something? Maybe that was only in the run-up to the IPO?
Edit: elsewhere in this thread people are saying that trying to link to lemmy.world fails, and trying to link to lemmy.ml fails, but you can still link to other lemmy instances?
/r/nerf created their communities on my instance for a migration but their base wasn't a fan so they only use [email protected] as a backup.
Mods try but people are not open to change.
Well, you know those guys are extremists. Their slogan is literally "It's Nerf or Nothin'!"
