Why is awful.systems on the suspicious instances list? (lemm.ee)

OK so awful.systems has 487 registered users and yet 351701 local posts, (meaning not posts federated in, but posts created in the instance itself) Something doesn't quite add up well here.

@self@awful.systems do you have any idea what might be causing this? Do you have some sort of bot that opens a lot of local posts or some sort of importing mechanism from elsewhere?

I just checked the communities, all of the posts added together doesn't reach that number:

Ye so something funky is going on here. It could be that they're deliberately reporting nonsense numbers in nodeinfo since iirc they have modified the lemmy code, but I'm not sure.

Thanks. Interesting that we're no federating properly as some thing are still coming through. I wonder what broke.
