Hello and I'm with you too. I wish you success in developing Lemmy.
I'm curious if other kbin will see a similar increase, although since we're federated with Lemmy it doesn't really matter as much to me so long as the Fediverse is gaining traction which is hopefully what is happening here after the Reddit fallout.
Wow, holy shit. Servers must be getting slammed with requests. Good thing there's lots of instances to spread the burden.
Hmm, it seems odd that the number of total user's has increased so much without the number of active user's increasing as well. Unless people are having trouble logging in?

Pretty sure it's hexbear joining back into mainline lemmy
I personally jumped ship because of the API pricing changes of Reddit.
I don't even use third party apps. It's just that I can't give an entity my business when they treat folks who volunteer to make their platform better like that.
Same here, I'm a software dev for a living and it resonated differently/pissed me off hearing about the API pricing changes and what happened with Apollo's developer
That's a good reason to jump ship. And wow, I think you missed out on not using the 3rd party apps, but they're coming to lemmy soon.
I am the opposite. I had a Reddit login for years but never used it. When I found out about Apollo, I gave it another go and it quickly became my Number 1 Internet time sink.
With Apollo no longer functional, Reddit (for me) is no longer functional.
The fuckery was just the icing on the cake to force me to delete my account.
This instance gives a clue maybe?

It looks like it's only a day old and it has 11k users. There isn't any content on it either. There are a few instances like that, you can see them here: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. They all have low MAU, 10k or so users, and low Status Count.
Quite a few are showing about 10k new users in the past day or so. Probably they're small instances without bot protection or instances made to support bots.
Can this be reported to those tech savvy enough to know what to do? Fantastic find. These instances might well be preparing bots for attack.
