    Have you tried blocking them?

    What seems to be popular is the inability of people to use basic Lemmy functions… not sure if because of UI discoverability, or because they really want some algorithm to feed them clickbait mush.

      I have. I actually defederated my instance from lemmit. But many users do not have that option, and user blocking can be tedious if the offending bots are many.

      So you could say I am quite aware of Lemmy’s basic functions, yes.

        If I’m not mistaken, lemmit has a single bot account, easy for anyone to block… and I haven’t seen anyone else running similar bots.

        So what is all this even about?

        Which app? Seems to work fine for me in Jerboa, Liftoff and Sync. Blocking all bots in Lemmy’s account settings seems to work too.
