Noticing lots of new users, did something happen? - eviltoast

I’ve noticed quite a lot of new accounts popping up recently, wondering if something new happened over at Orange Alien HQ or maybe is this just normal growth?

    Dunno about others but I wanted my fix of random scrolling again after RIF died, tried the Reddit app and it was such a horrible experience it motivated me to actively look for something else, so searched for replacements and here I am.

    Maybe others are doing the same.

    I think it’s normal growth + some federation issues being resolved?

    I don’t think anything imploded Reddit side recently

    I checked out Lemmy a longtime ago and went back to Reddit then API changes happened so I just went cold turkey for a while. Lemmy apps started to get good and content is starting to take off. Feels a lot like the old Digg and Reddit days here right now. Few things need to get resolved with Lemmy like making it easier for registering new people. Like having a generic server for people to join and get started. An option to change servers would be very nice at some point too once people kind of figure things out. Once a handful of things get sorted out and streamlined I think we will see a lot of growth
