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?
Welcome!
I tried to join dbzer0 and got rejected without any reason—did I pick the wrong pirate (I liked Rackham on Black Sails)
The current Lemmy UI doesn’t display the reason. use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to login and you should see the reason. In any case, please join our appeals channel (it’s in the sidebar) and we can sort you out.
Thanks, will do
Hi, glad I joined!
Welcome !
Im new to Lemmy too. Happy to be here. :)
Happy to read you :)
But are they seeders of leechers?
I migrated from reddit today. Thanks to r/piracy post. So far it’s amazing. I am using the Eternity app for Android which is the same as the Infinity app for reddit so UI is similar
Just a heads up, I see you joined lemmy.world , the dbzer0 piracy community that I think you may have come for is blocked there, so may not be able to access it from where you are.
I know it’s kinda confusing.
I’m glad you’re adapting. Welcome !

As one of those newbies?
Hi. It is the two millionth day of September, give or take a few thousand.
If you’ve got a question about any of the Lemmy culture don’t hesitate to ask. We will gladly answer (^_^)
September beeth eternal
For the past thirty two years, and counting.
I was there at the beginning. Just a wee Luser. Such fun and wonderful times for eleven year old me to be punted into.
What the fuck did I just read?
Am I having a stroke?
Relevant history. If you were there, you remember the call of the wild AOL’er, “Me too,” ringing 'cross the network, usually as a top-posted comment.
Quality racism you got there. Go ahead and, defend the comments.
This post is taken out of context. The OP is asking for conservatives to elaborate on why they hate DEI, specifically the diversity, equity and inclusive parts respectivly
I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about? This is neither our user, nor our comm.
it’s not even this instance
And its actually a post calling out people blindly opposed to DEI without really knowing what it stands for

Good, the Piracy community over on dbzer0 is much better anyways.
2025 the year of lemmy
the year of the
snakelemmingOn a more serious note: I wonder if the year of Lemmy will never come. Constant de-federation and churn might splinter it again, much like distros did kinda splintered the Linux desktop.
Not everyone wants the same flavor of the fediverse.
There will never be “a lemmy”. There’s no canonical “lemmy” out there. There is only 1000 independent websites, sharing select content with select neighbours.
We either accept this, or we return to corporate social media.
and the linux desktop
I switched fully over and am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting my life. No more easy defaults of VS Code, back to custom configuring my emacs. No more surveillance, self-hosting and encryption. No more shitty windows gaming, Linux and Proton for gaming bliss!
“So yeah! Emacs, huh?”
With the advent of the steamOS console, you’re actually correct! If it’s anything like my deck it’s trivial to launch it in desktop mode and use it like a normal linux desktop. This is the gateway to putting linux in front of bored kids everywhere.
steamOS console
Wait what?
Awww sadly it was just a rumor. https://bsky.app/profile/gamingonlinux.com/post/3lhe2febew22h
Even so, hook up a steam desk to a monitor with a mouse and keyboard and that’s a linux desktop, that’s right now today.
pop the champagne 🍾
we are celebrating tonight
Noice
to any new user, or new lurker, welcome!! the begining is kinda shit, but it was as well when you started on instagram/reddit/tiktok, you just dont remember it. i dont remember my upstart into the fediverse because it has been such a short part of my independent-net journey.
I remember my start and immediate end on Bluesky. Got banned for saying the white ones were better. I was discussing Eneloop batteries!
Lol for real?
The main thing I heard about Bluesky is that it costs like $100 mill to run your own instance or something like that, so they only have one main instance for now. They technically have federation, but for all intents and purpose, it’s just another centralized corporate service waiting to be enshittified.
But now I can add this to my list of reasons why Bluesky is a trap.
As far as I can tell. It tells me my profile and anything I post is restricted, never see any replies. I guess an AI moderator got upset.
That’s real cool to hear!
Threadiverse >>
Was it taken down? I don’t see it. Why was it being promoted in the first place and how was it not immediately banned? I thought reddit banned anything lemmy related.
You don’t see the link I posted?
Nvm. Completely missed the small “www.reddit.com” under the post. Didn’t realise it was clickable. Thanks!
It’s link/instance dependent. Another strength of the fediverse
