I'm attempting to move on from Reddit. Heard good things about Lemmy. I'm checking things out.

because stonks
That’s great! Hopefully word is spreading
I dunno, but I've noticed that lemmy.ml had a bunch of bot and spam bots today to ban, and both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world have defederated with a bunch more instances compared to the other day. I wonder if the registration exploit has been patched.

I DID spend a lot less time in the last month on Reddit than before. Now everyone is constantly talking about how to let reddit be like it used to be and a lot of subs are private.

A lot of us haven’t been able to create accounts due to high activity. It looks like account creation requests have finally started going through.

Hello and I'm with you too. I wish you success in developing Lemmy.
I heard about it through a negative review of Reddit in the AppStore and decided to check it out. Reddit permanently banned me for “abuse of the report function” though I had only reported a few things in my many, many years on the site. Then they proceeded to ban my entire family’s accounts because we share an IP address. Right after all of that, the news about third party apps came out and here we are.
I hope Lemmy continues to grow!

This has to have something to do with the newly discovered API exploit to rapidly create accounts without any limits, right? Instances without captcha or email verification are vulnerable still, AFAIK.

Might have something to do with the ApolloApp dev’s latest post?
Wow, holy shit. Servers must be getting slammed with requests. Good thing there's lots of instances to spread the burden.
u/spez caused the jump, let's be grateful that he made us all switch to a better home!
I use RIF exclusively on mobile. I never use reddit from my computer. The interface isn't all that different from RIF when on mobile, so I'm giving it a shot. Lots of the other places listed as "reddit alternatives" were mostly just discussion and not community focused and link sharing sites. I like it so far. (my first post!)
Pretty sure it's hexbear joining back into mainline lemmy
