wow! look at those bots go! go speed racer!

You gotta stop counting total users. Only active users should be counted. We know there's utterly massive numbers of bots being created. Plus people have multiple accounts from trying out different instances even if they'll only use one.

Good to see, but as with all posts like this, it’s important to note that the really important number is “Active Users” That number has gone up significantly as well, just not as fast as number of accounts.

Daily active users is a much more reliable statistic due to bots

Spez gettin sweaty

How much is bots tho

There was a pretty big jump in active instances, too!

Active daily user count is about 50k.

Man, so much has changed. Glad I made the switch to Lemmy.

Just wait until Apollo/RIF/etc actually go dark!

First post, post-Reddit 🥴

(Lemmy.world) server:

Hopefully Lemmy continues to grow

Are any of these accounts bots?

Or maybe how many of these accounts are bots?

Are they all bots?

good to see but hope the bots can be purged at some point.

It shows 50,000 active users per day compared to 2,500,000 total users per day. Most of the difference, presumably, is dormant bot accounts. If they were all activated and started posting one day, they could probably bring the network down.

I'm confused though by the active comments per day being about 100 times the active users per day. Surely users are not commenting 100 times per day on average. Is there something wrong with how the comments are being counted?

The posts count also looks a bit odd, since it means active users are making more than 10 posts a day on average. That seems implausibly high.

Are these real people or bots? So far lemmy and the fediverse have been great experience I like it and won't go back to reddit. Hope it's real people and we can enjoy this new fresh start!
