Most postings on lemmy are simply Reddit “archive” bots. Why is this so prevalent?

    If anything is going to kill lemmy it will be these low effort content bots. Just post after post of either reddit reposts no one is replying to or random news links no one is replying to. When I scroll lemmy at night before bed 90% of the content is garbage with no comments posted to it.

    It makes me want to go back to reddit in spite of it all.

      ee is trying to fix that, we had a thread about bot infestations. We put rules in place for bot overrunning of feeds
