Lemmy's total users surged from 156k to 240k in a single day today! What caused the jump?

Seems like there's enough content to actually get into the habit of contributing and exploring, but discoverability feels harder. At the same time, so much social media these days is a mainline, drip feed, brain dead thing. Just interacting with YouTube/Instagram/Reddit/Twitter makes my eyes glaze over.

I think just the right amount of friction is probably a really good thing.

4yo still has main character syndrome

If persistence and asking over and over again has worked in other situations, and tantrums don't have a significant negative reinforcement, this sort of behavior seems natural.
