    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.

      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?

        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.

          Oh… that makes sense.

          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.
