Numbers of posts, active servers and daily users have a mostly linear increase day to day but comments hence engagement have skyrocketed. It makes me think it's mostly not bots
Exactly. I don't doubt there's tons of bots, but regular people are coming as well to the degree that this platform is really beginning to feel alive.
I read WAY more than I comment, and comment way more than I post. I imagine there's a lot of people like me who are here, but are on the quiet side.
That's a lot of signups for one day... bot accounts?
Lots of bots for soe but this comm alone blew up to 3x the users in 2 days, and people make lots of OCs... So not just bots
Yeah my guess as well. The Reddit blackouts have been going for quite a while, and the 3rd party apps are still going. There's no reason why we would suddenly grow 300K in a day
@WhoRoger Let's not forget the fact that Lemmy and Kbin are both connected to the broader Fediverse, thanks to the AcitivityPub protocol! In other words, might be 1 mill Lemmy-accounts, but many more mill potential users that could interact with the content even without Lemmy or Kbin! 😄
1 million so far...
Attack of the bots
