At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

    There are prolific posters and some bots that post nearly half of the content that gets popular on a particular day. Commentors I think there’s a healthy mix of regulars and users I don’t recognize.

      I block the bots when they show up. One whole community stopped showing on my feed when I did that.

          Yuck. Thankfully I’m not seeing too may yet on my several instances. If you care to share publicly or in DM, so I can block them, I would be so grateful. Thanks either way.

            I just checked my blocked instances. zerobytes.monster is the only one I know for sure. Couple of others I’m not sure why I blocked. Most of them are to filter out languages I don’t read from the All view. Possibly lemmit.online.
