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.

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.

Same, and I still haven’t figured out where to go to block instances instead of individual communities

It’s awesome they keep it to just a few bot, blocking it will clean the hell up your feed.

Lets be real, the comment section of some of the meme communities is best left behind.

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.

Wait, the Reddit bot still works?

How so if Reddit changed (dumbed down) their API?

Anyway, I blocked that bot since long ago hah
