I’ve gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.
… and I can’t access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.
Programming.dev is alive and well though.

Is there really such a big influx of users migrating specifically TODAY, of all days? I guessed most interested users, like us, did in advance these last 3-4 weeks.
I wish there was a way to see the traffic of different instances in (mostly) real time.
The 3rd party apps are shut down. We’re (You and I) are the “first movers” of this initial migration. Basically the choices are to move to the Reddit App, stop using anything like Reddit, or here… (ActivityPub like sites)
I can only speak for myself, but once I’ve read that Reddit killed third party apps today, I deleted my Reddit account and shifted my attention to Lemmy, specially because once I was logging in to delete my account I stumbled upon a Reddit post shitting on Lemmy and how it could never be a Reddit replacement. That was enough to convince me that Lemmy is a good reddit replacement, and here I am.
That’s kinda weird how there are posts like that, though.
There are a lot of weird things being posted in Reddit at the moment. I’m not sure how many of them are organic though.
