Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Is there a way to filter out bot posts? (lemmy.world)

Not comments are fine, but I don't want to see posts without real users behind them.

In your profile there is an option for bots.

Show bot accounts

Try toggling that. It seems to be on by default.

I believe that toggle is just for "bot accounts" which if checked just marks your account as a bot.

EDIT: ignore me. There's a bot account toggle and show bot accounts. Idk why I didn't notice that before. Apologies

You also check from the bottom up?

We call it "Aussie style" up here 🤣

I feel like this setting would be a lot more useful if it was per community. Plenty of sports communities use bots to set up gameday discussion threads that I don't want to miss, but I DO want to miss the ocean of garbage reddit reposts drowning out actual human interaction.

Which isn't a critique of your very relevant suggestion, but rather a lament that people think that communities somehow get better when robots are posting junk no one reads.

This is the kind of thing I'm thinking too. Long run it's not a big deal, because I can just scroll past the bot posts.
