Is there anything I can do about duplicates? I use Sync for Lemmy on Android.

Block that bot user?

That’s a stupid question. ;)

Edit: Anyone downvoting this should be ashamed. It’s a reference to his username.

Not remembering a joke from an episode that aired 25 years ago doesn’t really rank high on most people’s shame-o-meters, my dude

His character on Deep Space 9 infiltrates the space station by impersonating an admiral. He does this by saying the following phrase anytime someone asks him a question: “That’s a stupid question”. Because he’s wearing an admiral uniform he gets away with his rudeness and the subordinates just let him infiltrate the station.

How do u do this on sync? There is several annoying bots i want to block but clicking the name of the bot doesn’t do anything.

On a post in the feed, hit the three dot button and filter out that user/community or instance. If you want to block rather than just filter, go to the bot user profile and hit block in the top bar.

If you can’t find the option to block in your preferred app, you can always go to your instance in a browser and block the user in your settings.

3 dot menu on the post, then click on the user in the menu. That will take you to their profile so you can block them. Also, I believe clicking on the user/community name is a toggleable option in sync.

You mean Sync doesn’t let you block users from the post itself? The default mobile UI does that. It’s there on comments too.

Also, I believe clicking on the user/community name is a toggleable option in sync.

Why on earth isn’t that the default?

The bot doesn’t have a profile? If it does, you have to go there then scroll to the right:
