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?

We'd use Branston beans, but not gonna lie that looks shit hot. Would scran with a bottle of 8% cider.

I thought Heinz was the gold standard in the UK. I must try the Branston ones. Flippin' love that pickle.

Don't think I've ever seen them in the supermarket in Ireland but my sister's visiting from the UK on Sunday so I think I'll place an order.

Check out phtn.app and Voyager for Lemmy (app/PWA).

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.

Welcome to Lemmy!! We are called Lemmings over here! Or whatever you want really. I may have drank too much beer.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Fwiw, I prefer Fedizen, bc it works for other things too like Mastodon, Mbin, PieFed (where I'm typing this from btw), Friendica, etc.

But yeah, where you are, Lemming works too I suppose.

[–] superjimboomba@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 9 hours ago

Thank you fellow lemming!
