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

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.

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.
(support.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!

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.

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.

Second date? I'm getting a date out of this now? Oh. Oh man. This is intense! I didn't even know she LIKED me! Wait....I don't even know who we're talking about!!!

Holy shit! Nice!
And haven't noticed instance specific influx but recently there are a lot of users posting/commenting that have the "baby badge" on Voyager app, meaning the account is new. Feel like this influx of new users already started last week.
Haven't been on reddit since I deleted my account during the blackouts / API fiasco and man, Lemmy/Fediverse has been fun.
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.

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...

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.

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.
