  • The account name is just bot or lemmybot and I saw lots of the posts you describe in explainlikeim5 for example, but I don’t remember from which instance this community was. Not the one on Lemmy.world. But there were more communities with lots of bot posts like that.

    And I do put my app when I open it on all. So I can see the other instances and find new communities I want to join. I also put my weblink on all. So that can’t be making te difference in why I don’t see any bots on the weblink and almost only botposts on my Mlem app.

    So I can just block it? It’s not like real people also post in that community that could be of interest? It’s just a bot community? And how do I block it? (Haven’t tried it or looked for it myself)

  • Thanks for explaining, I agree. Just copying Reddit isn’t going to enrich the fediverse. On the contrary. We need to make our own posts, our own discussions, useful information and our own databases.

    Bot infestation?

    So I was on the Mlem app and I see post after post made by bot. I’m assuming this really is a bot? Some new communities only seem to have posts made by bots, and in the text it says that they copied a post from Reddit. What’s going on? I don’t see the same thing when I’m on Lemmy through the weblink. Is there something I should do with those posts? Ignore them? Is there something wrong with the Mlem app?
