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?
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
It's weird how people smell babies, and are like "smell that baby! It has baby smell!"
But at some point they stop. I'm 41, and nobody ever lifts my shirt and smells me.
You just go to the wrong bars man, or so I've heard
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecanal
(...) In 2021, inhalation of hexadecanal was found to reduce aggression in men but to trigger aggression in women. Hexadecanal is one of the most abundant substances emitted by human babies from their heads, which may be an evolutionary survival mechanism to induce mothers to defend the baby and fathers to not attack it. (...)
What fathers are attacking babies???
remembers the world we live in
Oh, right.
Yeah but if I did do that, then somehow "I'm" the weird one... smh over here... 😜
YES I fuckin love the 👶 emoji on Voyager! There's been a lot more and they make me smile inside like little 🌱s on FFXIV. Do other apps have them to indicate new users?
This makes me want to switch but I'm ride or die Sync. I just manually look up the account age when I see someone spewing absolute bullshit. That icon would be helpful! How long does it last?
It's there for new accounts created within 30 days!
Not sure, but I'd also like to know. Sounds like a great feature!
On PieFed it looks like a still loading icon. At first I thought my account wasn't "finished" or something!:-P
