Congrats to all lemming pirates !

Huh, we have had users signing up at a higher rate than usual, but we go through bursts and we are generally pretty low volume so I thought nothing of it. Amazing to see you make the front page!

I tried to join dbzer0 and got rejected without any reason—did I pick the wrong pirate (I liked Rackham on Black Sails)

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.

Is this really just the "backup site"? Boo, I say. Boooooo.

Also, wasn't Reddit banning links to Lemmy or something? Maybe that was only in the run-up to the IPO?

Edit: elsewhere in this thread people are saying that trying to link to lemmy.world fails, and trying to link to lemmy.ml fails, but you can still link to other lemmy instances?

Big uptick for us at bhzon recently, but a degree of magnitude less than this

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..
