Been watching over the recent surge in fediverse users for about a week now. Last week, it was climbing what i would call naturally, organically. Now for the last couple days, its been like 350k in the last 2 days.
Love to see the growth of users, but these have to be bot created accounts. I dont want this to be bot infested community. I see the value in bots when used correctly, but lets be real - general population and bots could ruin this community.
Is there anything planned? Is there work from some third party to throw off the “stableness” of Lemmy / fediverse?
I have a crosspost bot, I’m mainly testing it and it’s purpose is to use reddit as link agregator to help small communities get some content going.
It only posts external links, never OC nor a link to reddit.
Also in my case the bot will get one post no older than 5 hours every hour, to prevent flooding with posts.
