In addition to lemmy.world, the #2 real lemmy instance, lemmy.ml, seems to be growing as well.

Our neighbor, kbin.social, has also reached the 40k milestone today.

bruh that k6qw lemmy instance 45.9k users right now but ZERO posts. wtf.
these bots are gonna be a problem
And my conspiratorial side makes me think that they're not here by accident

Yeah it's ridiculously blatant that instance is full of fake users.

Oh, found a post by the admin of that instance, it's from a week ago

its the default setting of every new instance to require approval, on my instance i dont require email verification so i thought i could at least have people write something to let me know they’re human. in the end no one uses my instance so I just opened it up, maybe after some registrations ill make it an application again.

Boy oh boy, @gaylord you're in for a fun time there, bud
48k users right now btw, he's getting a lot of bots

And he hasn’t posted anything for nearly a week.

[–] Master@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They've already replaced him.

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still see him as the only admin of that k6qw instance.

I was trying to be subtle... but what I meant was that the bots have found him IRL and replaced him... Invasion of the Botty Snatchers...
