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?

Hopefully at least half of them stick around; the MAU count is much more impactful in terms of post frequency and variety than the total number of users in general.

Even if they don't stick around they probably know that the days of reddit allowing stuff like piracy and rom resources is coming to a close, so even them just seeing lemmy as a fallback plan to keep in mind is a positive move in the long run.

But are they seeders of leechers?

Is there some infographic or image that explains how lemmy works? It may get confusing for new people. Even myself, I have been sort of "out of" lemmy and I don't remember how tagging or linking instances works anymore. It would be nice to get an image that explains those things to just post around for new users..

Please, don't take this the wrong way, seriously:

I find that quickstart entirely useless. How to create communities is already pretty self explanatory, as there is a button for "Create Community". The same goes for Search.

I think an image/infographic with things like "how to link users?", "how to link communities?", is much more useful, as there are no quick ways to find that out, i.e., no buttons.

No worries, you make a good point.

For your question, this post https://lemmy.world/post/8505771 is probably better (from [email protected] )
