Trying to purge them and set up with Lemmy Ansible, I've disabled signups without admin approval for now.

I see a postgres container and a password but I'm not very familiar with postgres, I tried psql but can't get access

Edit: Also anyone who's de-federated with us, please reconsider. We're a small server with active admin and will get a handle on this, I promise! We had an easy process to sign up for a few days while I got my users over and forgot to turn it off

Edit2: Looking much more healthy now, I will put the commands I've used in a comment below

Yup I've got them, luckily 5 or more repeating numbers in their email pretty much identified 99% of them. Would you like me to send the CSV somewhere? 27k+ bots

It's be interesting to see where they are coming from, do you have up and user agents in the logs at all?

I don't unfortunately, I deliberately don't log that due to some of the sensitive stuff on my own instance (we're China based)
