Lemmy has multiplied it’s number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

    Don’t pay attention in the slightest to total users, active users is what counts.

      Active users will probably drop off as the Reddit dust settles, but I’m liking it so far, not really that much of a jarring change once you get past the ActivityPub shananigans.

          Yeah, something similar happened to VRChat a year ago, Neos and ChilloutVR had crazy spikes in signups in the first few days of the controversy but eventually ended up with around 2x-5x online users afterwards.
