    Very nice to expose serial downvoter and expel them. Ohh btw, is there any way you can check what’s up with the huge discrepancy between registered user vs user-per-month? There’s like 1533 inactive user for no apparent reason. Bot? Sleeper?

      Oh yeah I looked into that.

      • Users-per-month is only the count of users who created lemmy accounts on monyet.cc.
      • Registered users includes users who have visited from federated sites. I’m not sure what triggers the “registration” - I suspect just viewing one of our subs is enough, since we aren’t seeing any major volume of upvotes or subscriptions
      • For our first day we also had a problem with someone running a bot account creation script. I added a captcha and it went away. At some point I’ll probably purge these. (Not sure how many)

      Oh! Just to add to that though, our stats are probably actually much larger than are reflected on those stats.

      • There’s this thing called the 90-9-1 rule - 90-99% of users lurk. I’ve found this to hold true on r/my and elsewhere.
      • Especially on Lemmy where they have to create an account to even upvote - whereas most lurkers on reddit are probably registered.
      • Lemmy doesn’t seem to report pageview count
      • Someone told me they switched over so they could get their news feed back
      • So I suspect we may have as many as 3-5k daily active users, but just like on reddit, they lurk

      If you’re a lurker reading this, please do consider creating an account! There’s no email address required. It’s motivating for us to see higher signup numbers :)
