Lemmy has multiplied it's number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts?

Probably half of them are bots.

Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

Yes, and it's quite serious.

The bright side IMO is lemmy is being recognized as a valid alternative to reddit, if it wasn't, bots would have no reason to try and be here.

I'm on kbin, wanted to create an account on lemmy.world but apparently iCloud doesn't let confirmation email coming through so... kbin it is

I'll probably stick to kbin as well. I tried to create an account on beehaw, wrote a nice little paragraph about why I wanted to join and with no explanation my request was denied.
