The Lemmit.online bot is banned from lemmy.world for all users, which I think is responsible for a lot of the useless bot traffic (useful for people who want to keep up to date on Reddit happenings I suppose). Lemm.ee, Lemmy.ca etc. don’t block the bot site-wide so it’s up to users like OP to block that bot if they don’t want to see it.
I blocked one user when I first signed up that was doing this. I can’t remember which. But any chance you’ve blocked someone, too? Cause I only remember a single bot being really bad at it.
There’s also some other bot that’s name starts with something like “L4” or something, but it’s good in my book. It only reposts something like the top post and I usually only see its posts actually having discussion. It’s only the spammy bot that made so many zero discussion posts that I have a problem with.
I cant even remember blocking any bot, no. But I see it similarly, if it actually provides good discussion then its fine in my book. I get that we dont want to just rehash reddit but its not like link aggregators dont aggregate from other link aggregators.
Maybe its just me but I havent seen any of them?

That makes a lot of sense then yes
