Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

That's a lot of signups for one day... bot accounts?

Lots of bots for soe but this comm alone blew up to 3x the users in 2 days, and people make lots of OCs... So not just bots

Yeah my guess as well. The Reddit blackouts have been going for quite a while, and the 3rd party apps are still going. There's no reason why we would suddenly grow 300K in a day

Half and half.

Also, growth is exponential.

Its when it reaches a plateau aka once the dust settles, how much people remain engaged that matter.

I personally was able to go a week without reddit and just be a normal person. The need for a replacement grew. And lemmy has been picking up enough thy I feel like I can come here whenever I pick up my phone and have a decent chance of getting content for my dumb chronicly content addicted brain.

So yeah. Probably a bunch of other people doing the same. I finally created an account yesterday after a bunch of days lurking.
