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?

Holy shit! Nice!

And haven't noticed instance specific influx but recently there are a lot of users posting/commenting that have the "baby badge" on Voyager app, meaning the account is new. Feel like this influx of new users already started last week.

Haven't been on reddit since I deleted my account during the blackouts / API fiasco and man, Lemmy/Fediverse has been fun.

YES I fuckin love the ๐Ÿ‘ถ emoji on Voyager! There's been a lot more and they make me smile inside like little ๐ŸŒฑs on FFXIV. Do other apps have them to indicate new users?

Not sure, but I'd also like to know. Sounds like a great feature!
