Hi all

Is there an Android client that allows me to avoid Reddit posts which are currently crossposted and overwhelming my Lemmy timeline?

Something like Domain exclude as on the Relay for Reddit client.

Thank-you in advance

I don't know about any clients but if you block the lemmit.online bot and the zerobytes.monster bot the reposts will drop by like 90%.

I'll have to see about doing that. I don't want to give reddit any clicks.

From my understanding when you click on the lemmit.online link it brings you to a redirected archive, not the actual link.

Even still, I agree because it's annoying having posts with guaranteed no comments. Those posts only work if there is engagement surrounding it. No engagement and it's just spam.

Oh thanks!

Haven't seen many for a while but the last couple of days they've flooded my in.

I did this a few months ago and it worked surprisingly well.

I was also annoyed by the number of Reddit reposts. I started blocking the accounts that posted that content when I saw it and the issue was largely fixed surprisingly quickly. It’s really not many accounts doing this but they put out a lot of posts.
