The following screenshot is a composite. The popups for the last two days are inserted top left and top right. I also copied the Y-axis description from left to right.

How to explain this growth?

Fedidb.org recommends to use active users stats instead of total users stats. (fedidb.org)

Fedidb.org recommends people who view their statistics on their “Threadiverse” tracking page that people should not use graphs and numbers from the total users due to the surge of bot-accounts, and should instead use the monthly active users. This puts the “Threadiverse” at 87,089. Lemmy with 37,197 and Kbin at 44,136. Fedidb.org also shows that the number of accounts is now at 1,75 million, though most of these accounts are probably just bots.

Heads Up! Bots are coming. (fedidb.org)

Maybe you guys already know about the bot signup over lemmy.world. Now they are all over the lemmyverse. The top 20 fastest growing instances in the threadiverse are probably suffering from it. The top one, lemmy.podycust.co.uk, has 10k users with 7 total posts. The total user count of threadiverse is now 544k, compared to 270k on June 19. We may be facing 200k+ bots at this point. Also these instances are in the federation. If any admin of these instance abandons ship, this creates huge liabilities to the threadiverse.

Lemmyverse needs to figure out how to deal with this. But before that happens, do you guys think Beehaw should preemptively defederate these affected instances? Or could there be a better solution?
