Rant - it's always frustrating to see people considering 38k monthly active users as "no users" (piefedimages.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com)

I mean, 38k just means 34,2k bots and 3,8k actual users

Not really. The user-to-bot metric is way worse on Reddit, I'd imagine.

Are there really that many bots on lemmy? I really only ever notice the couple RSS bots that float around between me blocking them.

Occasionally I'll see one acting up and filling the frontpage with spam but Beyond that I don't see many. There are a few users I suspect are chat GPT agents, but that's gonna be an issue anywhere.
