A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Didn't really see anything that stood out there either. A handful of users accessing via tor, but, thats about it.
Ended up turning the security policy from low, back up a bit though, forgot I turned it down while troubleshooting some federation issues.
Oh! I just remembered something. Isn't there a site that recommends a lemmy instance? Might it make sense that multiple users found your website because they change the recommendation to distribute new users to smaller instances? Does that sort of pattern hold in this case?
I checked join-lemmy.org right after this happened- and a few other times. Refreshed multiple times.
To date- I have never seen my instance listed up there.
Interesting, I definitely see mine. I'm wayyyyyy at the bottom of the popular section, (likely due to the 9 bots that added themselves before I banned the accounts.).
I wonder if one of the settings in your firewall is blocking that particular bot?
I don't recall when I would've done the same, but I do recall not being on join-lemmy until - well - now actually.
This list gets updated every few minutes:

The master list is there in the same repository.
