I didn’t join lemmy to just see Reddit content regurgitated here.
Block by user: the bot at lemmit online is the main offender.
They seem to be posting them in their own communities, not spamming them everywhere else. Just don’t subscribe to those communities.
I usually brows all to find new communities, so that doesn’t necessarily work
You can just go to those specific communities and block that community. I’m looking at you, !memes.
You might as well block the entire lemmit.online instance since that is the main perpetrator of these cross posts.
I just checked - it has nearly 170,000 posts and only 3 users. At some point one has to question whether these posts are even wanted by the general community or if it has just become spam.
There is no to little engagement on these posts so they don’t bring anything new to discussion. And if the purpose is to enable users to view reddit content without actually going to reddit, there are sites which already exist for that purpose, e.g. libreddit.kavin.rocks.
I personally dislike when their posts flood my feed so I have blocked everything.
Agree. If ever there was a case to defederate from an instance, this is it IMO. Lemmit.online is all spam with zero engagement.
Why defederate? They’re trivial to block if you don’t like them, but if some people didn’t like them then they wouldn’t be subscribed!
You can untick ‘Show bot accounts’ in lemmy settings.
In your account settings there is an option to show content by bots; unfortunately this only works if that account is marked as a bot. For the bots I have found that are not marked, I’ve just been reporting and blocking them. It took a few days but now I rarely see them anymore
I’m only now understanding that you can report a comment or post.
Ive simply been blocking the account.
