Lemmy exceeds million users (maybe more accurately accounts)

1337tux@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.ml – 127 points –

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?

Why do you think it's bits? I haven't noticed any bot activity.

They are currently dormant, but those thousands of new accounts on some instances clearly show every sign of being auto-generated.

The admins and mods are keeping them at bay, but it could easily get out of control. At this point it's transparent which it normally is when mods and admins are holding the line, but the soldiers are at the gates.
