In other news, Sync is coming to Lemmy.
The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.
If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.
I just joined lemmy and this is the first social media service where I could grab my short username instead of a longer one no one uses I'm very glad
Hi all, here from Apollo.
I'm glad I caught this username
Love to see it.
Fuck you Spez, most may be bots right now but those bad boys will eventually become real users.
Hello everyone! Waiting for the mobile app so i can leave reddit for good
Jerboa is a mobile app for Lemmy!
I'm really not sure these are spam bots. I suspect it's actually mostly people playing with the exploit that was recently posted on their personal instance. Definitely still bots though.
Holy shit. Welcome Lemurs.
This is my first post on Lemmy and I just want to say that I'm so happy to be here guys. Finally my dream of seeing a decentralized social media platform gaining unprecedented traction is coming true.
This has been a dream of mine as well! I kept saying “why hasn’t someone created a better social media platform, especially an anonymous one like Reddit?” I didn’t know Lemmy existed until I went to post a negative review for Reddit and saw it plugged in someone else’s negative review for Reddit. I’m so happy it exists!
Oh man, I hope this server can maintain. Support if you can. There is no CEO but there is a server admin who has to pay for us to be on it. No centralization means its up to us to keep it going. I don't know the history of lemmy world and I'd hate to see it go because it was too expensive for it's popularity. Something to think about.
It's run by the same guy who runs mastodon.world (Ruud) so he has experience with huge servers. Apparently this server is currently set up to handle a million users. Here's the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mastodonworld
Awesome, thank you.
And some, I assume, are real users.
200k bot accounts.
First post on Lemmy! Ummm, what is sync?
"Sync for reddit" was one of the more popular Android apps for reddit
