The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

As far as I recall it's about blatantly "white" tweets, to underly how clueless and detached from reality they are.
But it may have warped into the stratosphere as of these days...

Every reddit shock, more people register on lemmy, as it's the only valid alternative, then around 10-30% of those stick around. The more reddit enshittifies, the more shocks it will experience until a tipping point is reached.
The latest one only got weakened by reddit panicking and rolling back their "bug". My suspicion is the next time they will try to enforce it, they will first make sure all lemmy links are banned.
I think you're probably right about that. I've always said the next big migration will be when they turn off old.reddit, but perhaps they'll be wise enough to blanket ban links to all the largest Lemmy instances by that point.

For what it's worth, your instance name is spectacular!
Thanks! I was very lucky to get it. Finding the domain (name) is the longest part of the process for me. I go through so many permutations before actually pulling the trigger on one.

That instance name is great!

Please, don't take this the wrong way, seriously:
I find that quickstart entirely useless. How to create communities is already pretty self explanatory, as there is a button for "Create Community". The same goes for Search.
I think an image/infographic with things like "how to link users?", "how to link communities?", is much more useful, as there are no quick ways to find that out, i.e., no buttons.
No worries, you make a good point.
For your question, this post https://lemmy.world/post/8505771 is probably better (from [email protected] )

Lemmy really needs to buy ads on Google. I know....Google is just awful.
But doing a search for "reddit alternatives", the first result is reddit.
I'd be willing to chip in some money to get that going.

Was it taken down? I don't see it. Why was it being promoted in the first place and how was it not immediately banned? I thought reddit banned anything lemmy related.

46K active users is nothing to sneeze at. Most old school forums were hella active with just 1K

Isn’t .world the most populous instance? Hmm…
This is interesting. I get the impression that some admin/mods truly don’t understand how the Fediverse operates. They ban one (or a few) instance name(s), but there are so many more that they might not even recognize as Lemmy links, which get past the radar.
At the same time, there are fears here that .world could become disproportionately powerful compared to other instances, due to its high user count.
So in a way, Reddit blocking traffic to .world while permitting links to other instances can benefit us all. Smaller instances gain users, which is an important step toward balancing things out and keeping any one instance from becoming too powerful. Thanks, Reddit!
(I recognize the irony of having a .world account. I wasn’t aware of its standing in Lemmy when I made it. I am also still learning the Fediverse myself and don’t know how to transfer my account to another instance yet.)

Nvm. Completely missed the small "www.reddit.com" under the post. Didn't realise it was clickable. Thanks!
