Sadly those are bots, real amount of users is around 150k. Source: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/176547
Apparently a lot of those bots are just farming reddit and reposting here. Which I think in the short term is a good thing. People are more likely to join/stay if they see content. On the other I hope lemmy has the tools to prevent bot content from overwhelming user generated posts to the point that it loses the authenticity.
That's an interesting take, but I could definitely see it working out. As long as the reposted content isn't ads or spam, it could help the fediverse have content while it grows.
I would love to have a bot/a few scripts to migrate a lot of the useful posts that were on reddit over here for a few of my hobby communities instead of having to move them manually. I can definitely see a lot of use cases for those.
We know nothing. We say nothing.
I don't see the proof in that link, although maybe I'm missing something, it just seems to imply that is the case.
Agreed. It's literally just them saying "there are a lot of new users and theoretically they could all be bots, therefore they are all bots".
