As it is in the mastodon post.

TLDR - lemmy’s current user count is probably somewhere just above 200k (between June 18 and June 19 numbers). Arguably higher as the larger lemmy instances like lemmy.world are likely to have quicker real growth than a niche instance.

What was the technique for clearing out the bots?

I think post/comment frequency is the best metric tbh. Activity matters more than user count.

Exactly, I don't care about user count but posts and comments.
