Lemmy has multiplied it's number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

Extremely low compared to the total growth: Per https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats Lemmy grew from 150,000 to 1,150,000 total users in the last four days, but for the active users, the growth was 30,000 to 39,000. If you extrapolate that, there are maybe 200,000 real Lemmy users now.
Compared to account growth that's low but a 33% growth in four days is hard to call "low"
That's why I said "compared to". The percentages were +666% and +30%. 30% growth in four days is enormous, but not at all when compared to 666%.
