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?

Welcome to Lemmy!! We are called Lemmings over here! Or whatever you want really. I may have drank too much beer.

Your username implies the existence of a lesser, regular jimboomba.

Fwiw, I prefer Fedizen, bc it works for other things too like Mastodon, Mbin, PieFed (where I'm typing this from btw), Friendica, etc.

But yeah, where you are, Lemming works too I suppose.

Hello fellow Fedizen!!!

Hello! Now let's go grab a beer... 🍻

I like fedizen too, and threadiverse for lemmy,mbin,piefed, etc. (or when accessing the threadiverse through friendica, hubzilla, etc.)

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Threadiverse does sound to me too much like Threads... but that's dead anyway so meh, whatever, Threadiverse it is then! (Especially since iirc our usage of it predated that of Threads anyway)

And Fedizen makes me feel so... responsible? 😎

Now have a beer: 🍻😄
