Me here, fuck u/spez🖕
Fuck him!
I got a kick out of knowing he had millions of fuck /u/spez tags. He must know he’s a bellend before being rich. His disaster bunker article was absolutely hilarious.
If only that article was more popular, it really explains why he’s such a little child regarding the whole API fiasco.
Can you please stop posting users numbers until the bot situation is under control? Putting it like you’re doing is misleading, half of them are bots (if not more).

Post user activity instead? That has been suggested many times already as a far more reliable metric.
Not knowing when the bots will be under control is NOT a good reason to post misleading info, and you should know it.

The site you linked has it, first graph is “Average Lemmy Active Users by Day” (hard to miss honestly), after that there’s the one you’re posting.
there’s also this (select active instead of total users): https://the-federation.info/platform/73
and this (check active instead of total): https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Are you a bot microwave?

That’s exactly what a bot would say!

Lol, your user name is how I pronounced nginx for years
That’s where I got the name from lol. You’re literally the only person who’s ever pronounced it correct ;)
If you can’t use critical thinking skills to analyze these numbers and understand bots are included, idk what to tell you bro. We can’t censor the world cause of a few dumb people.
With that said user activity, number of posts, number of comments submitted per day would be a nice metric to look at.
If you don’t know what misleading means, idk what to tell you “bro”
We’re all bros here can we please get along?
While this is good, I can’t help but feel that the branding of the decentralised social media ecosystem is hurting the growth a little bit. The -verse suffix, imo, is just too tainted from all the cryptobro metaverse scams and really makes this seem like some crypto scam as opposed to an alternative to the current crumbling social media platforms.
Regardless, I hope this ecosystem does take off, as it does seem useful and interesting.
If it means anything, universe and multiverse are the first that come to my mind.
That’s fair. Maybe I’m just chronically online, but it really skeeves me out how eerily similar some of the terms here are to crypto scams. Not saying this is one, obviously- as far as I can tell, there really isn’t any monetary incentive to run an instance-, but the language used at the moment can get uncomfortably close, which definitely might push people away.

As has been asked every time, how many are bots?
deleted by creator
yeah, the largest one is k6qw, with 52 thousand users, but only 4 users online atm compared to lemmy.world, 42.8 thousand users, 5.63 thousand online
edit: source: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
Honestly, if these instances don’t get their act together, I’d vote on my instance to defederate from it.
I’m usually not one calling for defederating, it seems like a liability, though.
The beauty of the fediverse and the power of ownership is being able to take decisions like these.
Not me lol
Exactly what a bot would say

Me either. I am a human person just like all of you!
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
Welcome fellow human. It is great to be a human is it not?
floppy disk drive noises
There are dozens of us! Baker’s dozens! (We come in 13s)
Welcome all you noobs
(don’t hit me, I just got here too)
Yeah, I’m here since we were at 5-10k… Like, two weeks ago lol
Is… is this an OG?
Lol it’s seriously crazy how much less active this place felt a couple of weeks ago. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be someone who was here years ago.
Right!? Even daily it seems like there’s more and more activity. I’m lovin itTM
Tbh it seems to be mostly bots adding to that growth. Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to see the fediverse grow, but if it’s overrun with bots… no one will want to stick around.
Why do you say it’s mostly bots?
There was an exploit released a few days back that could make thousands extremely fast (unsure of the number).The two top user instances at this point have 50k new users a piece, and 10 users active, lol.
The relevant instances might as well remove non-active accounts that do not participates (e.g. upvotes or downvotes), I guess it would be enough to remove most of them
Ah, stupid that people do stuff like that.
Now we just need to move all content from Reddit to here, so that when you research something on google, lemmy would have the answer instead of Reddit.
I just joined. Done with that godforsaken website Reddit. It’s taking a little getting used to, but I know I eventually will get a hang of it. I’m willing to put my time into this.
This shit grows fast lol
reddit is no more
Yeehaw!
Can anyone explain what the point is of creating an instance and filling it with bots? Seems like it just costs money and time but with no benefit? Is it for a future spam campaign?
Is it for a future spam campaign?
Yes.
Damn, I’m happy to see it moving so fast.
Let’s goooooooooo
I’m one of them. Hello!
im another one.
And me - hello all.
