As a result, our instance https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ got 625 new user registrations (of which 536 where accepted) in the past 24 hours! And the registrations are not abating even now. We still get like 10 new ones per hour!

I suspect this is probably the largest advertisement, for lemmy specifically, since the main reddit blackouts 1.5 years ago.

Have your own instances also seen an influx of new users?

Is there a problem with Lemmy.world? I joined this one to avoid tankies, but I haven't gotten familiar with the place yet (despite moderating a community lol).

Besides smaller complaints (every instance has their issues). .world has gotten too large. Many people have suggested that it close its doors for now so other instances can catch up.

Having at least one mega instance is really good, in my opinion. Whether we like it or not, many people struggle with the idea of the fediverse and how to function inside it. If they didn't have to think about it initially it would help them and the fediverse. BlueSky and the AT protocol should never have happened IMO. But people prefer them because the experience is "better".

lemm.ee is a good general alternative to .world.

It should probably the default suggestion or selection now.

It's fine.

The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I've considered moving and I don't even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!

Very dated Lemmy version. LW users still can't remove their uploaded media

It also blocks Tor, other instances don't
