The number of users increased immensely the next day because Hexbear.net migrated to upstream Lemmy and their users/stats started being tracked. This newest wave of users does seem to me like bots, specially because they are signing up to instances where little to no activity is happening, but who knows.
Hexbear is part of Lemmy? How could I have known this if someone linked me directly to Hexbear? I’m trying to understand this whole federation thing, I’m not used to it at all.
Also, what do you mean with “upstream Lemmy”?
