As a result, our instance https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ got 625 new user registrations (of which 536 where accepted) in the past 24 hours! And the registrations are not abating even now. We still get like 10 new ones per hour!
I suspect this is probably the largest advertisement, for lemmy specifically, since the main reddit blackouts 1.5 years ago.
Have your own instances also seen an influx of new users?
You're viewing a single thread.
Guess I am one of the 536 newbies hahahaha!

Welcome my friend! Spread the word around. Be part of the resistance!
Yes, trying my best to spread the word!
Welcome!
We'd use Branston beans, but not gonna lie that looks shit hot. Would scran with a bottle of 8% cider.
I thought Heinz was the gold standard in the UK. I must try the Branston ones. Flippin' love that pickle.
Don't think I've ever seen them in the supermarket in Ireland but my sister's visiting from the UK on Sunday so I think I'll place an order.
I find Heinz beans a bit watery. I prefer the supermarket own brands to Heinz... Branston's are much better and tastier, with a thicker sauce. Still, YMMV and all that jazz.
Oh, I forgot an annoying trivial issue: the Heinz cans don't stack up well (lock into place with one can on top of another).
That non stacking thing annoys the piss out of me haha. It's such a small thing and it's deliberate to make the tin look bigger but it just means they're taking up more space in the cupboard for lack of stacking or falling over if you do.
Also not a huge Heinz fan. Like they're not bad don't get me wrong but definitely agree on the watery-ness.
The most popular one here is probably Bachelor's which has a thicker, richer sauce though I'm fond enough of the Lidl own brand one. That is definitely partly down to price. They're ridiculously cheap and very decent with a fry especially if you warm them slowly to soften them.
I'll have to try Bachelor's beans the next time I see them, as well as Lidl's own when I'm near their store.
Now, what's this thread about? Oh, yeah, pirating beans. That's it. ;)
There are two Lidl beans. The extra 10p for the ring pull one gets you more than just the convenience. :) Worth trying both though.
Yaaarrrrns.
So, what's your take on all the Lemmy.ml drama? What do you MEAN you don't know what I'm talking about??? Is this your first day on Lemmy or something? Oh, it is? Oh.
Ignore me. I'm making bad jokes.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE LINUX DISTRO
And why is it Arch
pshaw, NixOS, Arch is too easy.
Welcome! Happy to have you!
Welcome to Lemmy!! We are called Lemmings over here! Or whatever you want really. I may have drank too much beer.
Thank you fellow lemming!
Your username implies the existence of a lesser, regular jimboomba.
Fwiw, I prefer Fedizen, bc it works for other things too like Mastodon, Mbin, PieFed (where I'm typing this from btw), Friendica, etc.
But yeah, where you are, Lemming works too I suppose.
I like fedizen too, and threadiverse for lemmy,mbin,piefed, etc. (or when accessing the threadiverse through friendica, hubzilla, etc.)
Threadiverse does sound to me too much like Threads... but that's dead anyway so meh, whatever, Threadiverse it is then! (Especially since iirc our usage of it predated that of Threads anyway)
And Fedizen makes me feel so... responsible? 😎
Now have a beer: 🍻😄
Hello fellow Fedizen!!!
