Looks like this comes from www.hexbear.net, as I understand they started federating today (www.hexbear.net/post/272295) with 23K users and 271K posts.

This would explain the spike in the number of users and the number of publications. So no, they’re not bots.

Odo ,

Hexbear migrated to upstream Lemmy yesterday (they were running a home developed fork from an earlier version of Lemmy). I submitted the instance to fedidb earlier today (after a bunch of failed attempts because fedidb kept erroring out/timing out for some reason). Afaik, federation is not active (yet) on their instance.
