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?

    You mean people moving in from other Lemmy instances?

    Yup

    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.

    Makes sense.
