It has occurred to me that Lemmy has a setting where you can filter out posts by bots, but the match threads will be now handled by a bot, so you might not see them.
Current match thread is here: https://lemmy.world/post/20562325?scrollToComments=true

couldn’t find a setting that let’s you whitelist only the match thead bot, so unfortunately, you will have to toggle to “Show bot accounts”
