Lemmy has multiplied it's number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

Yeah, Lemmy bot net. I looked at one server and it was ridiculous the number of users vs active. My guess is the servers that had open signups got hammered with bot signups

I had about 20 bot accounts on mine before turning on more 'security', but it looks like that some instances had 10/20/30 thousand bot accounts in 24h
