They artificially inflate the size of lemmy and it makes me feel like I’m being taken advantage of.
It’s in your account settings.
I’m using Avelon and not finding that option. Can you tell me more? Thanks!
You need to set it via a browser.
oh, thanks. you’d think app developers would include all settings available to users.
I hate these bots too… but not because I feel I’m being taken advantage of.
They exist because of the misconception that lemmy needs to be like reddit or that it needs more users.
All they’re doing is diluting actual engagement. Everyone should federate from lemmit.online IMO.
the lemmit one is just one user (the bot) in it’s own instance, block the bot and you are done.
there are others, but i don’t know how the repost works, if it’s a single bot you can block the bot
The bot from the slashdot community https://nom.mom/c/slashdot is posting good material. I would not like to lose that.
