MODERATORS
The repost bots syncing vapid content from Reddit.
"Lemmy isn't Reddit" but here are hundreds of communities that have no engagement outside of a bot mirroring Reddit content.
I just blocked all of them when they started spamming my feed.
kind of a stretch to call those communities, when it's just a bot talking to itself.
I’ve honestly yet to see or feel those. I however exclusively browse my subscriptions feed, so I guess I filtered most of them out by my community choices?
Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.
Not enough content to not use all.
Yeah, but all/new? If I go to all, it's all/ top day. All/new is before the mods can deal with the truly awful stuff.
Agreed, in reddit I just browsed my subs and found some new ones every so often. In lemmy I browse all and block communities I'm not interested in.
I blocked the lemmit bot so I don't see those, but still mainly view subscriptions
Block lemmit.online dude. Lemmy has supported users blocking instances for months. Or block @bot@lemmit.online, because Lemmy has supported blocking users for even longer.
Depends on your instance; mine only switched last thursday.
Same, and I still haven't figured out where to go to block instances instead of individual communities
I have one account I blocked it on and one I didnt.
Its useful for dumbscrolling.
It's awesome they keep it to just a few bot, blocking it will clean the hell up your feed.
I love when it's a post where OP on Reddit was asking some kind of question.
Lets be real, the comment section of some of the meme communities is best left behind.
I never knew the joys of spaghetti hentai until I saw a reposting bot on Lemmy. RIP spaghetti hentai bot. I'm not sure why it died.
Wait, the Reddit bot still works?
How so if Reddit changed (dumbed down) their API?
Anyway, I blocked that bot since long ago hah
