yes, it’s called defederation.

There are many more bad instances like this in the statistics. I think it will become a problem for Lemmy sooner or later.

I think it’s either bots or some spooky spammers that are falsely reporting the number of users. e.g. lemmy.k6qw.com currently claims to have 44k users with no posts…

user script manager like this one

press shift+ctrl+A or click on archive if you use google.
