Why are there so many bots all lemmy?
Most postings on lemmy are simply Reddit “archive” bots. Why is this so prevalent?
You're viewing a single thread.
Blocking the bots has really gone a long way to make my Lemmy experience more enjoyable.
Is it a matter of simply blocking the users that are bots?
Yeah that's what I've been doing
Blocking is good option to improve individual experience, but a flood of low effort, spammy content from bots makes a very bad first impression on newcomers.
Theres an option in your profile settings to hide bot accounts
In what client? I’m on Memmy and there doesn’t seem to exist such an option
You’re double posting.
Its not in memmy its via the lemmy web ui
Double posting??? And thanks btw
Im guessing its the memmy bug where it doesn’t seem to post so you hit submit again and then both go through
Oh crap, well thanks!

I just blocked the ones doing the reddit archiving. If a bot is annoying you just block it!
