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?

    Yes, there’s a bot problem. fedidb.org now shows the following message:

    A spambot influx has been observed on Lemmy instances, inflating total user counts.

    We recommend using Active Users as a better metric to gauge growth.

      Do you know how active users are defined because I don’t usually make my own posts but I upvote and comment every now and then?
