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

Huh, we have had users signing up at a higher rate than usual, but we go through bursts and we are generally pretty low volume so I thought nothing of it. Amazing to see you make the front page!

Even if they don't stick around they probably know that the days of reddit allowing stuff like piracy and rom resources is coming to a close, so even them just seeing lemmy as a fallback plan to keep in mind is a positive move in the long run.

There was a post by @[email protected] on [email protected] about it

Captcha and email verification are trivially defeated by bots. If just getting lurkers is a concern, try using a registration application form like we do.
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.

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..

My instance is small potatoes, so no new applications for me (so far). =(

Guess I am one of the 536 newbies hahahaha!

Everyone remember to be kind to the newbies, not assume that they immediately understand for the fediverse works, and not to talk about your favourite Linux distro until the second date

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.

The only link that doesn't work for me is lemmy.world.

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.

For what it's worth, your instance name is spectacular!
