Are admins seeing an increase in applications? This seems fairly big!

I am here due to the post. So there is that.

It looks there’s a recent surge for Lemmy.ca 👀

Dbzer0 admin here. I've definitely noticed an increase in "spam" applications. Mostly stuff with applications that are blatantly wrong. Like just saying "yes" (multiple applications just had this???), "GOOGLE", an ad (to us) and one time, somebody literally just copy and pasted our own text to us (image below)

Though i've noticed a lot of good users applying too, coming from reddit. I think dealing with spam is fine if it means we get a lot of new users, and a fresh perspective to lemmy.

Thanks for posting. I Ctrl+F'd that thread for Lemmy and did what I could. Hope we managed to reach some new people :)

Great image, saving that. Stuff like Lemmy will need to be brought up repeatedly for it to stick in people's minds and an image post makes that easier.
