How?
Disable the bots? In your profile settings. Mind you some bots can be useful.
you shall be henceforth called Darth Lemmius the Wise.
I’m definitely taking that once flairs become available
Does lemmy have flairs like reddit?
Nope, but they are working on it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1456
how could we collectively reliably identity which bots are useful? would be nice to enable useful bots only.
Good bots follow orders
I disable them individually as them come up, but it’s a pain, and can see why people just Death Star the lot of them (is “death star” a verb?).
As the author of a bot that I hope is useful though, it’s kind of a bummer.
I disable them individually as them come up
help a poor noob here please, explain how to do it
It depends how you’re accessing Lemmy.
On the website, you can click on the 3 vertical dots near the post or comment, and chose ‘Block User’ from there.
On the Voyager app, you can click the user’s name, and then select it from the 3 horizontal dots.
It might be that whatever app you’re using doesn’t support it. Before Voyager did, I used to go into my Settings and then search for the user (e.g. [at] bot [at] lemmit [dot] online) in the ‘Blocks’ sections.thank you! :)
If “Death Star” isn’t a verb it should be. I’ll allow it.
If you block one then like 5 more will show up in your feed
Yeah it’s a thankless task. I don’t know who it was who thought “Let’s start our own Reddit … with reposted stuff from Reddit!”
Yeah, at least c/antiquememesroadshow uses a new concept with reliving meme nostalgia, and refugees of r/prequelmemes, r/sequelmemes and whatever the OT meme sub is have united into one community here- as have the state-themed subreddits for Washington, Oregon and Idaho with c/pnw.
I personally like bots
