They artificially inflate the size of lemmy and it makes me feel like I’m being taken advantage of.

      oh, thanks. you’d think app developers would include all settings available to users.

        I’m sure they will eventually, but they’ve been working hard the last couple months just to keep up with the stability issues from the huge influx of people to Lemmy. Once they get everything smoothed out, then they can get to the small things like that.

    I hate these bots too… but not because I feel I’m being taken advantage of.

    They exist because of the misconception that lemmy needs to be like reddit or that it needs more users.

    All they’re doing is diluting actual engagement. Everyone should federate from lemmit.online IMO.

    the lemmit one is just one user (the bot) in it’s own instance, block the bot and you are done.

    there are others, but i don’t know how the repost works, if it’s a single bot you can block the bot
