I blocked them and it's definitely an improvement.

If you block them do you still see things like tldr bot?

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

Sure, I only block the specific bots I don't want to see. Mainly the Lemmit bot, which is the one reposting all the reddit content. Other bots are unaffected.

Thanks for mentioning that. I left the communities that employ them but your solution makes more sense.

[–] Terevos@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Go for it. I blocked most of them and it's definitely better.

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely block them if you’re not interested. Your feed will improve immensely.

I recommend asking your instance admins to ban them.

I'm deleting this question per asklemmy rule 3.
