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.
"communities"
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.
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.
Lets be real, the comment section of some of the meme communities is best left behind.
Wait, the Reddit bot still works?
How so if Reddit changed (dumbed down) their API?
Anyway, I blocked that bot since long ago hah
