I don’t think it is bots. I think lemmy instances are counting any user they are aware of as a local user, and instead of the stats people are quoting being accurate, they are simply adding the number of users advertised on each instance. take my instance for example. It has over 10k users in the database for local users. there has been nowhere near that amount of email sent by my server, nor has there been that much traffic. I have not dug any deeper as of yet, but I suspect a flaw in the way users are tracked and not a flood of bots or new users.
If this is the case, why aren’t the most accessed instances the ones surging in usercounts the most?
Instead it’s the obscure ones.
Because I’m and idiot and have 10k bots signed up to my instance…
Oof. I hope ur able to address that.
me too…there are no user management features in lemmy so I will need to assault the database manually.
