Is there anything I can do to filter out bots? I cant see anything else except reposts from Reddit. Its multiple communities too so I cant easily filter it out. Its mostly the bots from zerobytes.monster.

They post so much their profiles just timeout for me in Jerboa. Luckily I can block them one by one.

Yes, https://zerobytes.monster/u/bOt is really a monster with 1.87 million posts in 3 months. I can open that page, but when I open it from lemm.ee, it times out: https://lemm.ee/u/[email protected]

So I just ran into this problem and am searching for a solution. Your post is one month old now. How's it going, did you find a solution for you?

Nope. I don't want to block all bots since there are also good ones. I have no idea what the point of that bot is, it doesn't really contribute anything to Lemmy.

Right, exactly my position.
