Looks like this comes from https://www.hexbear.net/, as I understand they started federating today (https://www.hexbear.net/post/273380) with 23K users and 271K posts.
This would explain the spike in the number of users and the number of publications. So no, they're not bots

Hexbear migrated to upstream Lemmy yesterday (they were running a home developed fork from an earlier version of Lemmy). I submitted the instance to fedidb earlier today (after a bunch of failed attempts because fedidb kept erroring out/timing out for some reason). Afaik, federation is not active (yet) on their instance.
Yup, they don't seem to be federating.
Not on Kbin (hi from sh.itjustworks) but I love to see it popping off. I just hope they're ready because if it's like this now, after the 30th is gonna be nuts
Ye
O.O
