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?

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.

You don't see the link I posted?

Nvm. Completely missed the small "www.reddit.com" under the post. Didn't realise it was clickable. Thanks!

It's link/instance dependent. Another strength of the fediverse
