What’s that dip on 2/12? What happened?
Hexbear went offline as the domain expired, went to auction and the domain admin was MIA. They've been restored as the domain admin (unfortunately) came back and reclaimed it
The hexbear.net instance went down, because the admins forgot to renew the domain name
(Technically the server was still running, but ~~federation~~ lemmy-stats-crawler works via domain names)
Big uptick last few days. I’ve heard there were more redditors coming over after more dumb stuff occurred recently. There was the Luigi hat thing recently.
I had previously used lemmy a while ago, but wasn't too impressed. Then after getting frustrated with reddit time and time again, I tried again, but couldn't find a simple way to get back here. The other day, a post on reddit detailed a very simple way to get here. And now I'm here. (and loving it very much so far)
Just curious, what was difficult about finding a way to get back here?
Is it because the various instance names are hard to remember?
My theory is that’s why so many new people end up on Lemmy.world. Many of the other popular instances have host names / domain names that are more difficult to remember and to tell someone about verbally.
Subjectively, Lemmy's communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.
Yep, I discovered let me during the API Exodus, and then came back recently with this last wave. They're definitely feels like there's a lot more here than last time!
Also finding a lot of value in reading and actually interacting with comments and content, on Reddit I just felt kind of drowned out and a lurker
Yeah working a lot of OT seeding this joint!
Woo more people to join our cult. Everyone will get their robes in the mail
Wait, I've been here almost 2 years, where's my robes‽
You and I will be considered the early adaptors. People will guess as to why we migrated so early.
The real robes were the Caroline's we got DMed by along the way.
Is Caroline like the new Nicole? The site's moving too fast already, I can't keep up!
No, I'm just terrible with names.. blew it again..
What's the password?

I cut the sleeves off of mine, that was probably my crime. Sleeves are like pants; the fewer you wear the better your day is.
