Bots, lots of bots xD

But I thought that was the excuse we were using for why Reddit still has lots of users?

Not attacking you, just pointing out the ludicrousness of everyone saying that all of Reddits accounts are bots when Lemmy is full of them as well.

99% of posts on Lemmy only ever see a comment from that annoying arse tldr bot.

That bot alone is probably the most active Lemmy account around.

I turned off the ability to see bot accounts in my lemmy setting and it has vastly improved my experience

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you do this through the webpage or through an app?

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I did it on the web page

So I go to lemm.ee the website then go to all my account settings from (I think) that little hamburger menu

then where there’s all the checkboxes one will say “show bot accounts” and just uncheck that

I browse exclusively on mobile and both on Avelon and Memmy I haven’t seen bot posts. Comments it’s a coin flip imo
