Sorry my bad, made a spelling mistake

I suspect the answers coming from Lemmy will be pretty skewed coming from Lemmy.

It would be nice if the poll allowed secondary answers or something too.

This poll says more about who uses Lemmy than what gaming platform people in general use.

So far there are only 89 votes on this poll. I don’t think that represents the community very well when we regularly get posts with 1000 upvotes.

I never saw this when it was new. I don’t know if it was ever pinned, but, if not, maybe that would have given this more traction due to visibility? I think post like this from just yesterday show it’s still divisive.

no option for steam deck?

NightOwl,

Would it’s a PC apply.

zikk_transport2,

Same for Linux platform - PC.

I should have added it more categories.

echoplex21,

I think you’re fine there’s so many different permutations then of “PC”. I use a Windows Handheld (Ally) but still considered it a PC

VPN user voting not allowed. Great job guys! I’m not turning off my VPN for any site.

This is just to try and combat single users voting more than once, but totally understand not turning it off.

UnknownQuantity,

I understand it too, but is there no way to make a poll in lemmy?

Not currently, at least that we have been made aware of

My client has an option to include content from bots, or not. Seems reasonable for people to choose

Gatsby,

Here on !technology you shouldn’t see posts from @L4s with that checked, and any other bot that is marked properly.

If you come across bots not marked so in any Lemmy.World community, please report it as it goes against the latest rules of this instance, we can involve the admins and ask them to intervene.

… just block the bot if you don’t like it. It’s not complicated.

Lemmy and Tildes has really shown me how much more interesting information is when it’s given by a real person with some context or an opening post.

A news article posted by a bot to… farm karma on Lemmy?? It’s just noise. Many of such articles posted have clickbait titles and comments under them tend to have less value and are based around uniformed opinions coming from the (often misleading) title alone.

Quality aside, I guess I don’t really see the point. To who’s benefit are bot content posted? It feels like advertising to me. I’d like to think that the community are able to sustain itself by the content someone cared enough about to bother post it here.

In short, bot created content is noise to me, while content posted by real persons has value.

I think it also depends on the rate of bot posts, when they post many posts within the same minute it’s just a wall of posts with little value, for example there’s 100 posts so each post will at most get 0-2 comments.

If the bot instead adds a single post once a hour/day depending on how active the channel is it could be fine. Because then people have time to discuss each post.

DigitalWebSlinger,

I recall that L4s’ owner stated that the bot’s purpose was to “jumpstart communities”. Personally, having noticed how much it has posted, and what ratio of top posts belong to it over time, it’s achieved just that.

I think it was a nice thing to have early on. But maybe its time has come.

fkn, to technology in Technology Community Poll: Content Bot

I personally hate seeing tens of hundreds of articles without replies. If I wanted an RSS feed I would get one.

Gompje,

Same.

As someone who uses the actual rss feeds, reading the same feed without interaction is just … a waste of time. Clutter. Annoying even.

Like you said: I come here for the interaction and/or to find an interesting article someone found in a channel I’m unaware off. Not bot rss feed content.

Fully agree. Instead of having a bot posting articles there should be a sticked thread or a wiki to list interesting sources and their RSS. User could add them to their RSS client if they want. When they have a reaction then they could share on Lemmy and comment it.
