Is there a way to block those bots that just directly link recent Reddit posts from similarly named subs? Or is this a feature you would consider implementing in the future, if feasible? There’s generally no interaction on these posts. They get spammed in batches it seems, which clogs my feed, so I’d rather just not see any of them.
if you want to block lemmit.online, the bot that post is just one, so blocking it as a user should be enough.
also, it does only post in its instance, so you can filter the instance, and that also would work.
Via the settings you can hide all bots, but you’ll miss out some useful bots around here
go to lemmy profile settings on a web browser. you can uncheck “Show bot accounts”
Jerboa has an option to not show bot posts at all, maybe connect has that too.
I looked in the Connect settings and didn’t see it. But it’s nice to know that it is something doable.
