I agree. I noticed a community mentioned above that was nothing but bot posts from YouTube. The community name did have YouTube in the name, but there were no comments on any post that I saw. A community that is just bots reposting information, possibly in random fashion, is not really a community, because no one is communing with another human or with a bot.

Yeah that YouTube repost bot is the worst offender imo. Crowds the local feed and brings nothing to the table, blocked it was soon as it inconvenienced me from reading actual stuff here on Lemmy
