It happens to auto post everywhere just after I finish work, makes using lemmy basically impossible for a couple hours… entire feed is filled with 1 upvote 0 comment bot posts
Comment on New communities and flooding the feed

Also, what’s this lemmitonlinebot that’s flooding my feed and linking to Reddit?

That bot is one of the few users I’ve had to block. I’m happy to sift through ‘organic’ posts that don’t interest me, but when it’s just reposting Reddit posts and losing the benefit of the discussion under that post, it kinda sucks

Honestly those repost bots are an absolute cancer and shouldn’t be allowed. The ones that post links directly to the posts on Reddit are particularly egregious and fucking stupid.

IDK I kinda like them. I can use them to find something to post to Lemmy without needing to actually open Reddit, especially on my phone where using Reddit is hard

You can disable bot posts in your user settings, or just ban that 1 user
