Every post i try to open brings me to one of these stupid bot posts with the comments from the post I’m trying to interact with. I’ve just started blocking the bot account as it happens then i can open up the post i was interested in.

    How about the bots that are just ripping every post from the original reddit community and posting it to a copy community here.

    I’d call that pretty low effort community building

      Yeah, I love automating stuff as much as the next guy, but I’m not the most keen on this. I think at the very least these kinds of posts / communities should be on their own instances.

        I’ve just blocked the bot from lemmit, it’s hundreds of posts with zero comments or engagement

    Uh, the bot isn’t the problem. It is the user Kitties@fanaticus.social that was the problem. That account seems to be gone…
