Thoughts on why there's such a huge difference between total users and monthly active users for Lemmy, especially compared to Kbin? Did Lemmy just get a huge number of bot accounts made that aren't active? #fediverse @npub1ln54yvwdtp88j8cltkthe6kpaahdk0f60g56mfdx27tesdktev0st7737w

Fun fact: the Arabic word for the orange fruit "burtuqan" (Egyptian Arabic)/burtuqala (standard Arabic) is literally the Arabic word for "Portugal" This is b/c when the Moors colonized Iberia, they used Portugal as a cultivator of oranges and shipped them across Europe & the Middle East #funfact #etymology #history
