Tons upon tons of spam accounts on spam instances:

And some, I assume, are real users.

Love to see it.

[-] balrog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I joined in the last few days. Seems like this site has much better content. Less bots and reposts. Plus, the user base seems a lot more intelligent in general at this point.

If you acknowledge it, you're already smarter than the majority of the Reddit user base

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

Hi there!

Wheres the Dark mode at?

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

On phone by default, the theme follows your phone. Set the phone to dark mode and it should switch.

If it isn’t or if you’re on PC go to themes in your user settings and manually change it.

Notice the disparity between monthly active users and registered users. These are bots. I'm very tempted to block these instances outright.

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.

[-] ElectricCattleman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wow, amazing to see and experience the community grow and become so active. I love it! :D

[-] spaduf 2 points 2 years ago

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.
