So shout out to people behind the Lemmy bots. Obviously, the goal of these posts is to make people feel more comfortable with the content switch. Great for lurkers. However I am seeing some community bots for stuff that feels like it’s supposed to be a discussion post but with no OP to discuss. The main candidate being something like https://lemmit.online/c/aitah
The problem is that now we have a community that is, for lack of a better word, spammed with bot posts, and where actuall posts will get lost in the feed. If we could contain these to a bot only community or instance, it would enable those who want to hide them, to easily do so
lemmit.online is basically what you’re suggesting, a self-contained bot spam instance.
Luckily it’s all run through one bot so you can just block https://lemm.ee/u/bot@lemmit.online and you won’t see any more of it.
Blocking doesn’t work for me and I don’t know how to fix it.
In my blocked section of my profile settings it says
type ‘Null’ is not a subtype of type int in type cast
Hmm, that’s a new one on me. Are you by any chance using a mobile app? I’m wondering if it’s maybe an app-specific thing and you could use the mobile site as a workaround.
Boots should be flagged in their name and it’s all or nothing but you should have a “Show Bot Accounts” option in your settings.
Aren’t bot usually flagged as such?
Yes, there’s a B after the name in the web interface.

Believe it or not, straight to jail.
