Welcome!

Is there some infographic or image that explains how lemmy works? It may get confusing for new people. Even myself, I have been sort of "out of" lemmy and I don't remember how tagging or linking instances works anymore. It would be nice to get an image that explains those things to just post around for new users..
Quick start guide
Quick start guide Account You can use your account you created to log in to the server on which you created it. Not on other servers. Content is federated to other servers, users/accounts are not. Searching In the top menu, you’ll see the search icon. There, you can search for posts, communities etc. You can just enter a search-word and it will find the Post-titles, post-content, communities etc containing that word that the server knows of.

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.

So, what's your take on all the Lemmy.ml drama? What do you MEAN you don't know what I'm talking about??? Is this your first day on Lemmy or something? Oh, it is? Oh.
Ignore me. I'm making bad jokes.

It's weird how people smell babies, and are like "smell that baby! It has baby smell!"
But at some point they stop. I'm 41, and nobody ever lifts my shirt and smells me.

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.
Whaaaaa???? Last I heard there was like 60k Lemmy accounts total. What the fuck happened since October???

It's link/instance dependent. Another strength of the fediverse

Nice!
And to answer your last question, yes. Jlailu is having an influx of new users coming mostly from r/France. From what I’ve read they’re coming after the r/whitepeopletweets (or something like that) ban.

You just go to the wrong bars man, or so I've heard

No. I see several genuine looking users that registered and did nothing (fine I guess). But there's a lot with very similar <somethingnnn>@gmail.com. Some don't do anything and so far I've left them. Some are clearly posting advert crap and they get deleted as soon as I see it. Every now and then I just go through purge the rest that are clearly bot accounts.
If I was actually getting genuine active users I might look into making a form or otherwise making it difficult (not sure if mbin has that ability mind you). But seems I don't really get real users. Just me, posting and commenting all day.
What? You delete the advertising bots??? Rude. What if I'm the type of person who's up at 3am watching infomercials about the cleaning products? And now I come to Lemmy to find the advertisements telling me how to find the hot lonely singles in my area? I want the hot lonely singles! That's a thing, right? For hot people to be single long enough to get lonely? And then they're like "I'd date ANYONE at this point!" and that's when I swoop in, like "You're all out of options now! I'm in!"
And you're just going to take that away from us? Tsk tsk tsk.
