Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.

At first it didn’t bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.

I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.

    Yea me too … I don’t think I really know what this is about.

    I’ve recently got the feeling that there is a pocket of lemmy that is much more of a reddit replication than I was aware of. Like, I think a bunch of the big communities over on lemmy.world like TIL or Asklemmy etc (I’m not sure I subscribe to any of these) are all affiliated and moderated by the same team … which seems like a pretty dedicated effort to getting a new-Reddit set up. Cool if that’s your thing … but I’d be guessing that it’s in that sort of space that bots are more prevalent??
