@lemmy.oneI saw some articles this morning saying the aurora might be visible starting last (Friday) night, and maybe through the weekend. Just wondering if anyone had success to help me decide if I'll try to see them tonight (since it will have to be quite late.)

And they'll be handing out tubs downtown 🍅😱

I've noticed this in many places in the Lemmyverse in my first few days here. When first signing up almost all the instances were listed as having 2 or less active users. The biggest was Lemmy.ml at something around 1000. Then I've seen those numbers listed in other places including a post yesterday that is supposed to help bring redditors to Lemmy.
These numbers will just get most people to turn around and not even consider Lemmy as an alternative.
I saw a GIF today showing the growth of user accounts on Lemmy instances and Lemmy.ml (for example) was over 30000 and many of the other servers were in the 100s, approaching 1000. That's a HUGE difference and indicates a community that is 10 times (or more) more active than the initial numbers presented indicate.
Any thoughts? Am I out to lunch?
As I'm posting things, I'd like to avoid reposting stuff. But it's hard to tell if right now if I am, especially in more active communities, because I have to scroll through the existing posts manually.
