The 10x surge in traffic was us gaining 3.5M new users over the course of a week (growing the entire userbase by >33%) and all these users have been incredibly active on a daily basis.

Lots of these numbers are public and the impact of the surge can be seen here: https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/static/dynazoom.html?plugin_na...

Note the graphs in that link only show users that take a publicly visible action (i.e. post, like, follow, etc.) and won't show lurkers at all.
