Lemmy Surpasses 1 Million Daily Posts for the First Time
(lemmy.world)
Lemmy reached a new milestone yesterday: 1 million posts in a single day (across 1,323 servers).
Idk if somebody else notices but there are a few communities with a Bot who reposts Reddit post... Idk but they are pretty annoying since we want to be independent from Reddit.
I've blocked them, but I wish they'd stop entirely. The reason I blocked them was not even because I disagree with copying content (I'm fine with that in some cases), but because it was just spamming posts that nobody wanted to engage in. It was post after post with zero comments.
Side note: hot sorting sucks and need to be improved. Why the heck does it like to show so many brand new posts with not even a single other person voting on? If I wanted to see new posts, I'd browse new. I expect hot to show me things that at least a couple of people have said "yeah, this is good" to, first (and ideally more than just a couple).
Yo how do you manage to block them I swear I block one and 15 more pop up
At least they’re labeled bot so it’s easy to block
I only noticed a small number of bots that were posting the most.
There's also an option in your settings to hide bot posts entirely, but I don't personally want to hide all bots, just the repost ones.
