What is this? A trend? (lemmy.pt)

On mastodon, I'm starting to be followed by accounts I have no relationship with at all (a famous guy I doubt would ever follow me, a supposed magazine about a subject I never talked about and with a name not really related to the subject of their posts...).

Is this a trend? Is it a strategy to get people to follow them back so they have more followers? Is this the fediverse version of spam?

Hum... good to know.

I have no experience with hubzilla. Only mastodon and lemmy. And have no idea of how facebook or twitter work.

Lets just hope the fediverse finds ways to deal with problems on the fly...
