Comment on Low Effort Bot Content

At some point Lemmy will be big enough that these no-comment posts will just drop off the frontpages, right?
If you open reddit and choose All and new you also get a lot of junk.

I agree on principal but right now lemmy doest work that way. If I go to lemm.ee and select local, top 12 hours 5 posts on that first page are from this youtube bot / community. If I go to page 2 17 of the posts are from this bot / community. Page 3 has 11 posts from them. This goes on for page after page until you hit the end of Top 12 hours.
Not a single one of those has any comments either. So I’m not sure how this is “top” except for the fact that they all have 3 upvotes (probably from upvote bots)
It’s a problem and a misrepresentation of lemmy to new users.
