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

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!

Hopefully at least half of them stick around; the MAU counts are much more impactful in terms of post frequency and variety than the total number of users in general.

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).

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.

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!

Guess I am one of the 536 newbies hahahaha!
Welcome my friend! Spread the word around. Be part of the resistance!

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.
