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.

@MicroWave the fact that there are almost a million people that are users on lemmy shows that there are a million more on the fediverse as a whole. i am very glad lemmy federated on activitypub. so i can use mastodon to communicate to lemmy communities.
Lemmy is fantastic
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.
I joined like 10 sec before
Welcome!
Fuck you Spez, most may be bots right now but those bad boys will eventually become real users.
Holy shit. Welcome Lemurs.
200k bot accounts.
First post on Lemmy! Ummm, what is sync?
"Sync for reddit" was one of the more popular Android apps for reddit
I think it's possible to belong to more than one form of social media, it isn't an either/or situation. Also it's way too early to project how any of this is going to end, it reminds me of the early days of the internet in miniature as people scrambled around trying new things. I say throw everything at the wall and lets see what sticks and if beehaw makes people happy and gives people that don't feel safe other places somewhere that they can be online I think it's great. Not everything is for everyone and that's OK, if we all liked the same thing vanilla would be the only ice cream flavor.
Holy cow. That is insane growth. I love it! Happy to see such a large influx of users. Hopefully most stay.
Unfortunately looks like a massive amount of bots. 40k for lemmy.k6qw.com and only one post.
