Can you please stop posting users numbers until the bot situation is under control? Putting it like you’re doing is misleading, half of them are bots (if not more).
When will the bot situation be under control?
I’m not denying the bot situation. These posts are for record keeping, and people in this thread seem aware of the bot situation. We need to get more eyes on this.
You’re welcome to start a conversation about how to solve the bot issue. I’d love to participate.
Post user activity instead? That has been suggested many times already as a far more reliable metric.
Not knowing when the bots will be under control is NOT a good reason to post misleading info, and you should know it.
Any particular website that you go to for post user activity?
I’m seeing total user comments quadrupled in the last 2 days alone (from 800k to 4+ million).
The site you linked has it, first graph is “Average Lemmy Active Users by Day” (hard to miss honestly), after that there’s the one you’re posting.
there’s also this (select active instead of total users): https://the-federation.info/platform/73
and this (check active instead of total): https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Will there be a point when the number of new users will need to be controlled?
hey boss…
yea?
remember that Lemmy thing you made a few years ago?
yea
more people use it than live on earth…
what? it was just last month that it went over 1 mil!
uh-huh
so you’re telling me there’s more that 10 billion users?
15 billion as of 2 hours ago.
the heck?
