I’ve been having a look at https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy and taking note of the servers where total users is orders of magnitude larger than active users, but I was wondering if there was a comma separated list that we could import into our ban-list.
Thank you!
I don’t have a straight up list to offer you, but https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/db0 has made a software for looking up instances with high amount of users but low amount of posts called lemmy-overseer. https://github.com/db0/lemmy-overseer
On github you can find link to their running instance with API documentation.
I have not personally used it, so this is as far as I can point you :)
If anyone’s curious, you can view the raw API output here: https://overseer.dbzer0.com/api/v1/instances
