    I wonder if I should uncheck “bot account” ?

    I don’t know if that will cause bad things to happen.

      Do you mean to say Lemmy may be able to differentiate between bot and human accounts regardless of that checkbox being checked or not?

      I was thinking the sidebar could include a note about what bots are active in each community so folks know what they’re missing out on. I can’t see a way around honouring the option a user selects (unless Lemmy devs add more fine grained controls for users to view/hide bot accounts per each community If that’s feasibly possible).

      For example @lodion could allow mods from each community to create bot accounts that don’t register as bots so that everyone can see the posts/comments but that wouldn’t be honouring the users selection.

      I had planned to ask !sydney what they think about bot posted daily threads. I think it would be good to be on the same page if they think it’s a good idea.

      Any thoughts?
