What seems to be popular is the inability of people to use basic Lemmy functions… not sure if because of UI discoverability, or because they really want some algorithm to feed them clickbait mush.
I have. I actually defederated my instance from lemmit. But many users do not have that option, and user blocking can be tedious if the offending bots are many.
So you could say I am quite aware of Lemmy’s basic functions, yes.
On Lemmy World we banned a lot of those bots since they are spammy and often post in communities where they are the only user so there is no moderation. So that’s most likely the reason why it’s not an issue for you.
I keep a lemmy.ee account just to subscribe to bot populated communities. I also don’t get “spammed”, since I only check the Subscribed feed on there, but All looks like a mess.
One of the n-th things I miss on Lemmy, is creating custom feeds without having to jump instances. And for admins to be able to decide what goes into their All.
Have you tried blocking them?

If I’m not mistaken, lemmit has a single bot account, easy for anyone to block… and I haven’t seen anyone else running similar bots.
So what is all this even about?

Oh… that makes sense.

When I block a bot it crashes the app.
Which app? Seems to work fine for me in Jerboa, Liftoff and Sync. Blocking all bots in Lemmy’s account settings seems to work too.
Memmy for Lemmy iOs at the time. Trying out Avelon now. Still figuring my tweaks.
