The ratio of bots to humans is significantly better on lemmy than on reddit. In fact that’s another reason that the dork in OP is wrong about “no users,” because absolute numbers don’t matter very much if you’re interested in conversations with actual human beings, what matters is the likelihood that it’s just bots responding and upvoting (or the opposite) and with reddit your odds on that are shit.
Are there really that many bots on lemmy? I really only ever notice the couple RSS bots that float around between me blocking them.
Occasionally I’ll see one acting up and filling the frontpage with spam but Beyond that I don’t see many. There are a few users I suspect are chat GPT agents, but that’s gonna be an issue anywhere.
I mean, 38k just means 34,2k bots and 3,8k actual users

Not really. The user-to-bot metric is way worse on Reddit, I’d imagine.
