You can untick ‘Show bot accounts’ in lemmy settings.

They seem to be posting them in their own communities, not spamming them everywhere else. Just don’t subscribe to those communities.

There’s a giant number of posts, but only a small number of bots responsible for them. When I see a post like that, I click on the bot’s username, then click “block.” Didn’t have to do that very many times before those posts disappeared for me.

You might as well block the entire lemmit.online instance since that is the main perpetrator of these cross posts.

I just checked - it has nearly 170,000 posts and only 3 users. At some point one has to question whether these posts are even wanted by the general community or if it has just become spam.

There is no to little engagement on these posts so they don’t bring anything new to discussion. And if the purpose is to enable users to view reddit content without actually going to reddit, there are sites which already exist for that purpose, e.g. libreddit.kavin.rocks.

I personally dislike when their posts flood my feed so I have blocked everything.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you tell?
