An active instance would have an impact on active users
Not immediately though right? since the active users are a month or half-year. Or does it automatically update that too?

Active users are daily too (you have day, week and month counters in the sidebar of all communities)
I was talking about on the fediverse observer. It wouldn't show up immediately there.

The Fediobserver has daily and monthly stats for active users. I assume daily indeed follow daily variations. You also saw those huge bumps when LW updated and started counting votes as activity
I think the observer shows daily and monthly stats for the active users per month and active users per half year so the active users per month wouldn't change as fast I think.
Also about it being a botfarm I do think that is a possibility. Actually there is more evidence for it when you see extend the graph to 120 days and see a huge uptick in users and servers at the same time. Edit: 2024-7-29

Indeed, I was remembering it wrong, you might be right!
Definitely
The source code is open source so I believe someone can tell us if need be.
