Are you seeing an increase of members registration in your respective instances the past few days? (jlai.lu)

Reddit seems to have messed up recently in mass banning subreddits and claiming they were unmoderated.

On the main French subreddit, three threads [1] [2] [3] have been posted about its potential decline and available alternatives. As a result, since the beginning of the week, jlai.lu has seen around 100 new accounts created. I don't have the motivation to make stats about it (and I'm notoriously bad at maths), but that's more than what we've had in the past few months.

I was wondering if any admins had noticed a similar trend on their own instances? What has been your approach in welcoming this sudden influx of new users?

Mild uptick in registrations here ever since that Meta announcement. Some people explicitly mentioning coming from Reddit, but it isn't a huge wave right now.

Do you see upticks during the occasional fediverse drama?

You mean people moving in from other Lemmy instances? Hard to say as not all people mention this on their registration application, but that seems more like a steady trickle of people trying out other instances I think.

Yup

Makes sense.

Yep, we've been seeing an increase since last Thurs

A bit on a mostly small server. Technically it went up 400%! But its on a literal raspberry pi for community only.
