Sounds pretty suspicious to me.

I just joined yesterday because I saw a post that I can’t find. But it reminded me to ditch Reddit and find some Lemmy instances. I’m glad I found this one and was able to sign up. Just my 2 cents.

I was able to delete most of the fake users, but the user count on the homepage does not update 🤷 I can't find that number saved in the database anywhere.

Nodinfo.json maybe? Thats what the fedidb site pulls the numbers it seems.

Yeah but that's not a file that just exists. Turns out the aggregates were saved to the database so I updated the user count there manually. Should be okay now.

Lemmy explorer ( https://lemmyverse.net/... ) does not show this instance. Is it related to this issue with fake user count? Or Waveform just hidden from explorer to prevent bot invasion?

Good question, I wasn't aware of the explorer but in the logs of the instance I can see that the did query the instance from time to time. I will get in touch with them to see why this instance isn't on there.

Strange, I think they may have just needed some time to catch up with the vast amount of new instances.

Yeah you're right. That doesn't sound right. Will take a look.

Thanks for letting me know, I have blocked the bot in our firewall for now and will delete the fake account shortly

Cool,

Stumbled upon this accidentally.

Yeah, idk what it is. It seems like a weak attack 🤷🏼‍♂️ one account every few seconds. Nothing that would topple any server except a raspberry pi.

I can see it's an amateurishly written script, making it easy to pick out in the firewall. Oh well
