Yeah, but a lot of those Lemmy accounts are inactive ones being auto-created by bots on Lemmy instances that didn't have a CAPTCHA set up. That shouldn't produce load for lemmy.world.
That's why I included the accounts that were active the last 30 days as well as the overall user numbers. Though the overall numbers (for Lemmy) seem to be sinking hard every now and then, certainly due to bots and or botted instances being deleted, the number of active users however is rising steadily.
I’m sure the bots will arrive in force as the place grows, but the number of magazines, posts, and comments has really taken off from when I joined kbin a few weeks back. This place is getting really enjoyable with a lot of content showing up.
