This is getting so much larger! It's doubled again while active users aren't changing much. We may need to figure out this bot problem.

Oh, that must have been me.

They found put we had snacks. Specifically Bugles. Reddit didn't have any! not even enough for one hand :/

This instance gives a clue maybe?

https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.wiuf.net

It looks like it's only a day old and it has 11k users. There isn't any content on it either. There are a few instances like that, you can see them here: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. They all have low MAU, 10k or so users, and low Status Count.

Quite a few are showing about 10k new users in the past day or so. Probably they're small instances without bot protection or instances made to support bots.

Can this be reported to those tech savvy enough to know what to do? Fantastic find. These instances might well be preparing bots for attack.

Reddit is fucked

All hail the new website

No idea myself but we have to remember that not all the users that come try this will stay, so I anticipate once the Reddit nonsense blows over the community will shrink a bit. I am going to stay, but I was "lemmy curious" before the reddit business.

Someone made a great site for people coming from Reddit to find communitie they were a part of. https://sub.rehab/

Hopefully is not an army of bots, but for me that's the most plausible explanation.

I finally got lemmy to reset my password, so plan to use it more. Reddit takeover of subs was ridiculous, the surge is only going to continue

[–] Alwaysfallingupyup@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Im really enjoying my experience here on Lemmy. Kinda like how I enjoyed reddit in the beginning

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I finally decided to make an account after a week of ignoring Reddit, what is going on over there is ridiculous at this point, Reddit should have just given 3rd party apps an exception and called it a day.

Wow, holy shit. Servers must be getting slammed with requests. Good thing there's lots of instances to spread the burden.

[–] rakara@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm attempting to move on from Reddit. Heard good things about Lemmy. I'm checking things out.

[–] Poggers@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Stopped using reddit after 12 years when the blackout began, and kept up with the developments through the tech news. Removing the mods and screwing around with things just because they're mad about a protest was the last straw, so now here I am!
