Early last week it was ~600 registered users, then last Friday ~700-800, 5 hours ago it was ~2.8k and now its 3.1k

Update: It has come to my attention that Lemmy is under a spam user registration attack. Feddit.uk is not the only instance affected.

Side note: Starting to notice some instance server load issues here. Not as snappy as it was due to the influx of new spam users.

Update 20th June: Tom has now enabled captcha and email verification on feddit.uk

Don’t forget to check the sidebar out on the feddit.uk homepage and donate to @tom@feddit.uk to assist with server upkeep and hopefully more server resource.

    I don’t know about anyone else but I’m loving the growth in communities, it’s like seeing an old friend when one turns up that you used to love!

    Like, oh hey, late stage capitalism got here!
