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?

Oh, thanks for the heads up. I will make an account on a different instance. Which one do you recommend?

If you came to the fediverse for a community on dbzer0, easiest solution is to make an account on dbzer0. It's a good instance, if you like it, think about contributing to their patreon.
