I'm super excited for Sync for Lemmy.
Also tinfoil hat on for a second. If there are really as many bots as people keep suggerting. Who has an interest in sabotaging lemmy?
But then it's probably the same bits which are everywhere now interested in lemmy because it gained users.

Love to see it.
that's pretty cool
Hello everyone! Waiting for the mobile app so i can leave reddit for good
Fuck you Spez, most may be bots right now but those bad boys will eventually become real users.
Holy shit. Welcome Lemurs.
This is my first post on Lemmy and I just want to say that I'm so happy to be here guys. Finally my dream of seeing a decentralized social media platform gaining unprecedented traction is coming true.
This has been a dream of mine as well! I kept saying “why hasn’t someone created a better social media platform, especially an anonymous one like Reddit?” I didn’t know Lemmy existed until I went to post a negative review for Reddit and saw it plugged in someone else’s negative review for Reddit. I’m so happy it exists!

I wonder if these are real users or if someone wrote a script to register users via the lemmy API… 🤔

First post on Lemmy! Ummm, what is sync?
"Sync for reddit" was one of the more popular Android apps for reddit
The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.
If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.
I think it's possible to belong to more than one form of social media, it isn't an either/or situation. Also it's way too early to project how any of this is going to end, it reminds me of the early days of the internet in miniature as people scrambled around trying new things. I say throw everything at the wall and lets see what sticks and if beehaw makes people happy and gives people that don't feel safe other places somewhere that they can be online I think it's great. Not everything is for everyone and that's OK, if we all liked the same thing vanilla would be the only ice cream flavor.
