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?

Probably half of them are bots.

Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

Yes, and it's quite serious.

The bright side IMO is lemmy is being recognized as a valid alternative to reddit, if it wasn't, bots would have no reason to try and be here.

Why do you think they are bots? I haven't seen any signs of that...
