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?

    If understand how Fediverse software works, I think you can just set up a server, install the software, then boom, you’re federated with any instances that don’t explicitly defederate you. That being the case, anyone can set up an instance, put however many accounts they want on it, then federate. The only safeguard is defederation by each instance individually. If I’m not wrong about that, it’s definitely a security issue that needs to be addressed Fediverse wide.
