It's all bots......(probably)

[–] Argyle13 21 points 2 years ago

Not that sure. Maybe a big chunk of it are, but there is a lot of people like me coming from reddit that signed yesterday, after doing some research and watching how things were here and on kbin.

Regarding the bots issues, new signups at lemmy.world were closed yesterday for several hours because of attempts to create spammy accounts. So maybe a mix of real accounts and spammy ones.

Yes it is. The top 20 fastest growing instances on https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse could be suffering from bot signup. Bit of a bummer.

I also signed up yesterday. This is my very first comment/post. This is all a bit new and ngl - slightly intimidating. I'll go back to lurking and trying to get a better feel for the whole thing before I participate more.

Edit: To be fair, I wasn't all that participatory on that OTHER site either. After 12 years, I walked away with (4,528·14,039) on my profile. So don't expect much lol.

I've been using reddit since before it supported the ability to leave comments, and I haven't been back since the 12th, except to see if/where my most-visited subs are migrating and to watch the occasional trainwreck caused by reddit admins stepping on their own dicks.

So far Lemmy/Kbin/etc has been scratching the itch with the bonus of having a better community. I think you'll be fine here.

Just signed up myself, it does feel like with guidance from Reddit migration threads it's easy enough to sign up, but navigation still feels a little confusing, so maybe some signing up but just lurking or not bothering to continue

Eh, just signed up and while my cns may which I was a bot, I’m very much still human.
