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?
Awww sadly it was just a rumor. https://bsky.app/profile/gamingonlinux.com/post/3lhe2febew22h
Even so, hook up a steam desk to a monitor with a mouse and keyboard and that’s a linux desktop, that’s right now today.
I like my steam deck but it is starting to show its age a little bit. It’s a fantastic indie machine but I want a little more firepower. I’m planning on building a PC soon either around Bazzite or, hopefully, steamOS whenever that comes out again for desktops
