YSK: There is a bot spam posting reddit content, and blocking it will improve your experience sorting by All

Why YSK: This bot is constantly reposting reddit content to its own lemmy instance, lemmit.online. Most of it goes completely unnoticed and produces no discussion. If you like using All to find new communities, and sort by New, all you’ll see is this bot. Its highest upvoted post has 40 upvotes and 0 comments, and it has over 6 thousand posts. You can filter the spam by going to the bot’s profile and blocking it.

I blocked that thing when it first came out.

Lemmy isn’t reddit. This isn’t the way to grow a community.

Thanks for this post

i believe it was blocked by lemmy.world due to concerns lack of moderation (bot just spams reddit threads with no human intervention)

I blocked all the Reddit communities and instances. Lemmy needs to be it’s own thing which require community involvement, not reposting shit posts from Reddit.

I noticed it posting like r/buildapc stuff; folks asking questions about how motherboards work and such.

Like, I could see mirroring r/news or something where people are posting news articles. But technical questions? If anyone on Lemmy answers the question, the original author won’t read it.

I never actually used r/ideacancer for anything but I think I might just open a community for it.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

:::spoiler Rule 7- You can’t harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
