3 years agowe’re all still small fries, but that’s ok because the fediverse is large. We’re just small apartment buildings full of people in a larger city. We’re not alone and size isn’t as important as community and communication.

We purged 32k unverified bot/spam accounts from our Lemmy instance this past week. We had email verification on but had missed adding CAPTCHA during initial setup. We’re still fairly new. Had over 1500 accounts “apply” within a 2 minute span. My admin email was flooded. It was ridiculous.
They’re gone now, but we’re staying vigilant.


browsing in new I have seen a !houseplants but I’m not sure which instance it was on. It would be nice to see cozyplaces or something like it though.


I wonder how many might be bot accounts?
We go maybe twice a month. We have to go down and cross the border into Oregon to do it, so we don’t do it that often. They have a few things that we just won’t do without. My husband loves the muffins, has one every morning for breakfast.
