Are admins seeing an increase in applications? This seems fairly big!

It looks there’s a recent surge for Lemmy.ca 👀

Dbzer0 admin here. I've definitely noticed an increase in "spam" applications. Mostly stuff with applications that are blatantly wrong. Like just saying "yes" (multiple applications just had this???), "GOOGLE", an ad (to us) and one time, somebody literally just copy and pasted our own text to us (image below)

Though i've noticed a lot of good users applying too, coming from reddit. I think dealing with spam is fine if it means we get a lot of new users, and a fresh perspective to lemmy.
