& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

Is this to be Lemmy's future? I tend to believe there's no practical way to distinguish between real users and bots.

It's nice at the moment because it's new, but it seems ripe for the astroturfing. The bots are on the way.

Is this to be Lemmy’s future? I think that we don't have to worry much about this.

The fact that lemmy is open source will ensure that sooner or later someone will develop a solution to the problem if it gets too bad.

The motivation of the lemmy developers is actually to develop a good platform. Unlike reddit where the only and sole motivation is money, that makes a huge difference.
