But browsing active >95% of posts are by a user with literally “bot” in their name.

Might as well be reading the Google feed if I’m going to be reading a specific agenda by something, at least that’s based on my interests and I can trust Google to put profit over everything, making their motives clearer than whatever the fuck is going on on Lemmy. (Cough tankies cough cough)

    It would be, pretty much. Which is exactly my point.

    The percentage of garbage can’t be lower than Reddit, that’s for sure.

    The total amount obviously is, but percentage wise… nah. Although haven’t been to Reddit for some time now

      It’s crazy how tiny Lemmy really is.

      There’s like 50k monthly active users or something like that. Lots of them are multi-accounts or bots, quite a few of them are on NSFW instances or defederated instances. I’d be surprised if there’s more than 10k actually monthy active unique users.

      Reddit has 1.2b monthly active users, so a cool 24 000x of what lemmy has in official monthly and 120 000x of the 10k actually active users I estimate.
