You should also consider what instance the user is from and whether that instance has a proper sign up application or not.
For instance I feel fairly confident that almost all users on Feddit.dk are real people because we vet every single applicant.
There are a lot of AI slop applications though so if other instances aren't as vigilant, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of bots.
Also your avatar and the image posted here (not the thumbnail) seem broken - I wonder if that's due to Anubis?
Most search engine bots publish a list of verified IP addresses where they crawl from, so you could check the IP of a search bot against that to know.

I’ve, once again, noticed Amazon and Anthropic absolutely hammering my Lemmy instance to the point of the lemmy-ui container crashing.
I'm just curious, how did you notice this in the first place? What are you monitoring to know and how do you present that information?
It does - but I'm honestly also still refining that vision as I work on it and I want to have a coherent story and something to show before I show anything to the world. Just what I'm most comfortable with :)
I'd rather ensure that I have something a bit more concrete to show before I "announce" it. First impressions matter a lot. And also, there's just not a whole lot to show right now and it is not in any kind of usable state so unless someone is truly interested in working with me on this project (with a somewhat similar idea of a vision of where it's gonna go and all that...), there's really no use in sharing it.
I feel the state of the project is still too early to be public (especially the frontend, there's really almost nothing there yet), but I can invite you to the repo if you have a user on Codeberg? I'd love to talk if you have a Matrix user.
I'm working on a new fediverse software but I'm mostly a backend dev. But I have been learning Svelte/Kit to try and write a frontend. Just putting it out there in case you feel inspired to work on something entirely new :)
I've messaged you on Matrix :)
