I immediately block them as soon as I realize they're a repost bot. Has cleaned up my feed nicely.
Just sucks that every new user will have to jump through hoops and block a dozen accounts before Lemmy is useable.
Not to mention that even opening some of the bot accounts pages to block them crashes the page sometimes because they have so many posts
Truthfully I found I have had to block quite a few more communities than just the reddit bots. Everything in the fediverse has required work so far. Worth it imo though.
Can we have group blocks?
Let users collaborate on the list of accounts and domains they want to block. E. g. have a special type of channel and every link that is posted and upvoted is blocked.
