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?

Also maybe try not to harass them about which instance they choose to join (unless it's a tanky one lmao), just try to educate them if the subject comes up. I think it's overwhelming to jump right away into "this instance has this problem, you should move to this other one"

I say this still not having moved from Lemmy.world
