Judging from the slowdowns and hiccups around here, yeah, I'd say that was "some". And we're not done yet either. Plenty of people in the world party on friday and saturday. Plenty of people in the US are camping or something on an extended weekend.

Everyone checks it eventually as the week rolls on though. Kinda fortunate for us, really. Spreads the influx out.

Do you know if there are usage stats posted somewhere? I would like to see how much people joins in the upcoming weeks.

There are a few different sites that keep track of it. I like the way https://fedidb.org/software/Lemmy presents the stats. The dip in users that they show though is from them removing a bunch of bot instances from their metrics.

I've seen a few stats posted throughout the day. Around 6hrs ago I saw just lemmy.world activity had risen 40% since yesterday.

I'm one of the new ones so I don't know where stats came from tho.

I was posting and encouraging Lemmy.world and wefwef like crazy until Apollo died.

Lenny just needs to stay popular enough while it works out the kinks. More will eventually follow as it gets polished.

I'm one that left after RiF got shut down. Lemmy.world just announced an increase of 20k new users over the weekend (about a 40% increase), so I'd say there's quite a few of us
