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.

“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?

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.

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

Define difference. For me personally it’s pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.

Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that’s your lower bar for doing anything I’m pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.

Which is good. All Karl said is “Don’t exploit people” and “see politics like a science” all very reasonable stances.

Just block the communities, or even the two most notorious instances as a whole. The user experience gets 100x better.

What subs were/are you on? I mostly only go back for my region-specific meme sub, so I guess it makes sense that there is less negativity. Plus sometimes searches with site:reddit.com
