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

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.

That’s real cool to hear!

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.

That instance name is great!

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.

You don't see the link I posted?

What is it? Looks like badass something but the Voyager app doesn't scroll it.

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.)

Socal or social?
