    This instance gives a clue maybe?

    https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.wiuf.net

    It looks like it’s only a day old and it has 11k users. There isn’t any content on it either. There are a few instances like that, you can see them here: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. They all have low MAU, 10k or so users, and low Status Count.

    Quite a few are showing about 10k new users in the past day or so. Probably they’re small instances without bot protection or instances made to support bots.

      Can this be reported to those tech savvy enough to know what to do? Fantastic find. These instances might well be preparing bots for attack.
