The apps have all gone offline, welcome aboard to all the other refugees, fuck /u/spez!

Anyone have the numbers of today’s new users for any of the kbin or Lemmy instances?
2.1k new kbin.social accounts made in the past 72 hours.
1.4k new lemmy.world accounts made in the past 72 hours.
Even better would be if they spread out over more instances instead ofself-centralising on a few ‘flagship’ instances. But no judgement, it’s understandable; just keep in mind you can always move to another and connect with the same communities!
I like this one: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
Good graphs to look at are: Active this month, Total Posts, and Total Comments. You can also look at these graphs on a per server basis. I’m on lemmy.ca so I’ve been following that server closely. Very happy with my local admins so far.
FUCK REDDIT. FUCK SPEZ.

A fair number of people seem to be spilling out into Lemmy, kbin, squabbles and other places. Be keen to see how the growth accelerates over the next few weeks as people weigh up their options.
Problem with squabbles is that it has sole ownership. Can literally turn into reddit or Digg again.
Good to know there are a bunch of alternatives though.
Yeah a few friends have spread out, reach looking into new replacements. Kbin got my attention since it’s open source and PHP based, so it’s something I can jump right into and fix up issues. Lots of people working on fixing up several parts of the site to make it even better
This feels like a good landing site.
It’'s taking me a while to learn navigation and buttons etc - no disrespect to developers, that’s just me.
Also tildes.net. However, they’re trying to grow slowly, and they’re focused on text-only discussions.
