I don’t think we’ve seen any evidence of this yet but I think we should be skeptical of sudden spikes. Could be bots.
Not to mention a couple hours ago someone publicly disclosed a bug that could create thousands of new accounts quickly.
That’s incredibly impressive! I haven’t noticed a single hitch and I’ve been browsing nonstop for the past hour or so.
Odd 503 error here and there due to cloudflare, otherwise smooth like butter!
Cloudflare is gone now, the 503 errors are caused by things being worked on!
The live page psuedo app is working well for me on grapheneOS with the vanadium browser, I do also get a random 503 error but it’s already so much better than a couple days ago
nice to be part of this, the fediverse is awesome. i joined kbin (readit.buzz) yesterday
off-topic but OP is your username related to The Good Place?
Looks like this comes from https://www.hexbear.net/, as I understand they started federating today (https://www.hexbear.net/post/273380) with 23K users and 271K posts.
This would explain the spike in the number of users and the number of publications. So no, they’re not bots

Hexbear migrated to upstream Lemmy yesterday (they were running a home developed fork from an earlier version of Lemmy). I submitted the instance to fedidb earlier today (after a bunch of failed attempts because fedidb kept erroring out/timing out for some reason). Afaik, federation is not active (yet) on their instance.
Not on Kbin (hi from sh.itjustworks) but I love to see it popping off. I just hope they’re ready because if it’s like this now, after the 30th is gonna be nuts
