I'm confused by the user count. I follow a mastodon user count bot, and it's numbers are pretty close to the ActivityPub user bot. Can anyone speak to how these bots work? Can they differentiate between mastodon, kbin, and lemmy?

Every website/bot tracks it differently. Some are opt-in only, others may only consider a certain type of software, and for others it's just plain hard to get an exact count.
