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?

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.

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.

No, I think it's just me on my instance (that probably has the capacity for 1000+ active users) and the steady influx of suspicious accounts that pass the email verification and captcha and then either post nothing, or post adverts get banned/deleted and it goes on.

Mind you I don't really advertise the instance either. So that's likely why.

I suspect people coming from reddit don't understand the fediverse (I know I didn't when I first got here). So they go to the hosting instance and join there, not really understanding they can join any instance and then join the community (if not already on the instance).
