    It’s also possible, being that it’s a new instance, it’s just being used to subscribe to communities outside of that instance.

      That wouldn’t explain where the 6112 users suddenly came from.

      I noticed this as well. Within just a few hours a whole bunch of newer instances have suddenly shot up by several thousand users each. My guess is that people are using bots to take advantage of the sign-up bugs and are creating thousands of bot account to use in various annoying and nefarious ways in the near future.

        I didn’t have a good frame of reference. I see now that 6000+ users is abnormal.
