Anyone have a list of communities that are just article spammer bots so I can block them? I realise that the early days of lemmy was missing these and it was much more enjoyable seeing human OC (lemmy.world)

There's an option to hide bot posts in your settings. So far everyone is playing nice and labeling their bots as such, so that's probably the easiest way at the moment.

In your settings where, please?

[–] MagisterSieran@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Near the bottom, “Show Bot Accounts”

[–] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

In Jerboa, or the web interface or...

[–] MagisterSieran@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The web interface.

Thanks

I believe either. In Jerboa (what I've got handy at the moment) it's under Settings, [your account name]'s settings, and then its in the middle of the whole bunch of switches towards the bottom.
