I fear a lot of this is bot accounts.

[–] tugg@lemmyverse.org 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I belive > 50% are bot accounts, maybe more.

We’re just like the big commercial social media sites then. Sweet success!

Bots and duplicate accounts on multiple instances. Wouldn't be surprised if total users is 1/10th of this

And I see this post from my own instance. Did lemmy.ml changed something?

[–] dudeami0@lemmy.dudeami.win 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The posts just started pouring into my instance as well. I think they might of, which is wonderful news.

I noticed now that their backend has been updated to the latest RC 0.18 😱😱😱

EDIT: I still have some communities in pending status

[–] dudeami0@lemmy.dudeami.win 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That would explain it, and I see they pushed docker images for 0.18.0-rc6. I might have to give it a spin on my instance, if they are running it must be pretty safe to use.

Edit: As for pending status, if I go click the orange "Subscription pending" button then re-subscribe it joins instantly.

Edit2: larger communities take some time still but you can actively see the posts coming in.

Edit3: The larger communities require a second unsubscribe/subscribe, but all my lemmy.ml communities are now synced! Great news.

I'll wait for the final version anyway. I think is enough to pull down the new image and recreate the container I think, never did this before with Lemmy

[–] ewe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Kinda crazy that one of the biggest lemmy instances out there is just rolling with a releases candidate. That said...the issues that 0.18.0 is supposed to address are substantial so getting it rolled out ASAP is a priority and we're still in the phase where if it breaks something, people are pretty okay with it.

Do we have a timeline on the 0.18.0 full drop?

[–] dudeami0@lemmy.dudeami.win 1 points 1 year ago

I just upgraded, was fairly painless overall. Solid code coming from the devs, another good sign.

Those are largely bots, let's not conflate them with actual users.

[–] vaguerant@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Don't sell the bots short, they can probably sell you a pill that helps you conflate things.
