It's mostly bots, but so is Reddit. The real question is, how many of these are active participants and contributors who'll generate content and start communities?
I’m not a bot, I used to post on Reddit only occasionally, (I was more of a lurker) and I only accessed it through the Apollo app. I strongly believe in the concept of decentralized platforms, and Apollo made Reddit more user-friendly by streamlining the tools, and reducing the number of ads. I recently joined Lemmy a few days ago and I already feel a surge of energy from enthusiastic migrant users like myself. If I thought my increased involvement here would contribute to meaningful discussions within the community, I will try to be more engaged. I hope that the influx of reddit users, including myself, can provide the boost that Lemmy needed without overwhelming the ‘instances’ themselves.
I came here four days ago and I've been commenting and voting on everything I see. I haven't made any new posts but I've been pretty active otherwise.
Super important to make this place a viable alternative, rather than just another graveyard.

count me in!
Then let's work together to make the Fediverse an actual thing, and take back control from spez and his ilk!
