Am I just noticing them more now? It’s like every other post now is a bot. Please don’t tell me that lemmy is about to be like reddit where it’s only bots that post anything at all

    It could be instance-dependent. Do you have any example screenshots?

    If there’s one or two prolific posters you keep seeing and it’s annoying to you, you can block them. If it’s certain communities you can curate that for yourself too.

    You can also “block all bots” (but the bot flag is generally self-reported). If you think that a bot is not reporting itself correctly (and it’s not just a terminally online lemmy user) then you can report them to that instance.

      I was just scrolling and saw bot after bot. All with different names. I just when ahead and blocked all bots

        Scrolling in what? All? I try to keep my subscriptions curated so I don’t really see a lot of the bot communities, without needing to blanket block bots.
