Is there a blanket "rss" bot block option?

I don't hate them. I understand their use case in smaller communities. I just want to interact with human made content.

Bots are supposed to be marked as bots on their profiles. Lemmy has the option in your settings to hide bots. But it will hide all bots, not just those ones.

You might need to visit lemmy on a website instead of an app if you can't find the setting in your app.

Thanks homie! Using the web interface had the option, but my mobile client didn't. Much appreciated!

You mean the reddit repost bots? I dont hate the bots but the guy running them is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Lets kick start the fediverse by flooding it with trash no one interacts with.

Yeah, if I wanted to see what's happening on reddit I would just be there instead
