This reminds me of when I had bots joining a Groupme I made, so I locked it down and made it so that people had to answer a question to get in, something like “say beans if you’re not a bot”. Caught so many bots that way. It’s good that you set up a question like that for your instance.

Yeah, I had that happen to me too once.

For real, I’m hoping that this isn’t just a temporary boom, and that Lemmy/the Fediverse can hold its own as it’s own internet community-type thing.

Oh true that makes sense. Thanks for explaining it, I guess I’ll just stick with the one account, it sounds like the better idea

Cool! I’ll check it out! I’m still learning how all this federated stuff works, it’s pretty cool so far though

Hey cool a free image!

Does that mean I could use kbin as a frontend to access Lemmy? I’m trying to figure out ways that I can help lessen the load on the lemmy.ml instance since that’s the one I joined
