eric5949can we like just not use bots to repost a bunch of stuff from reddit here?
MiddleWeighI don't like it. There's no one on the other end, the reason I'm here.
It feels unnatural to me. We don't need to force interaction when we're all here to do it.
Plus I'm still mostly sorting by new. They clog it up.
Edit: it's impossible to sort by new now, because of all those damned lemmit posts!!!
BigFigJust block the bot, i don't see their posts anymore
Yea I was just in the process lol me will figure it out!
Oh look at me all snazzy blocking stuff I must be a real boy!
Go Lemmiwinks! Stop Wikileaks!
Sorry guys, I don’t know why this reminded me of that South Park episode…
I don’t like those reposts either… ppl should focus on new original content.
I definitely heard that in my head before I even opened this lol
I think I have successfully plugged the reddileaks!
I know fr. I'm a 'content creator' but not memes or anything. I suck at those.
I'm writing a whole ass life story for no one to read, so yea were working for sure lol!
MisterMooSorry but I don’t agree with this logic. Smaller communities are more susceptible to drought. Content is a water supply. I moderate a magazine for The Office (woo woo, shout out) and I bring in content from Reddit as often as I can. It’s a temporary measure to increase the legitimacy of the site.
It litters people’s feeds with content devoid of interaction that there’s no point in interacting with. It funnels them back to Reddit. It is a mistake.
If you can get the content of a post and post it, that’s good. RSS bots are cool. If you can pull the image/link and title from reddit and post it you’ve got a good recipe. Right now I’m seeing a lot of lemmit and other bots just posting straight links to reddit posts, this is a counterproductive waste of time.

I, for myself, would appreciate if there was a way to block all #bots in the #fediverse. I don't find it to be too bad on kbin/lemmy but OMG, the #mastodon federated feed is mostly bots - I've been blocking entire domains left and right trying to clean it up.
