Has there been a major spike in user registrations or any other metric? I've never seen something "go viral" like this on lemmy before.

I’ve never seen something “go viral” like this on lemmy before.

I think they are just trends that start becoming popular because people are bored. At least, that's how it can start.

I imagine for every user that's like "that's cool!", there's another user who's like "alright time to avoid Lemmy for a while", so perhaps there is not much to glean from the metrics.

Am interested in any data too though, if it's there

Stupid things going viral for no reason like that just seems like a healthy platform.
