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 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.

        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.
