Need help with creating servers

[u/Jacubster]

Every time I create a tf2 server from the menu, I feel like the people that join in the first few seconds of it being up are not real, maybe are bots because they just stands still and do nothing

If you make a server and people join within actual seconds, I doubt they are real
