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

Geez I read your comment too fast and thought you meant "post user activity". Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome :)

You think making the same post twice every day is a good way to keep record, rather than using more conventional methods? Honestly tired of these hype posts with deceiving numbers.

That's exactly what a bot would say!

Lol, your user name is how I pronounced nginx for years

[–] njinx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's where I got the name from lol. You're literally the only person who's ever pronounced it correct ;)

What a weird way to pronounce that…
