Bad bots won't mark themselves as bot accounts so it's lore a case of if you want to see things like reminder bots etc

Disagree. If that were the case then the evil bit would be entirely redundant

The reason why I made this post was my subscribed feed was being filled with lot of posts from https://lemmy.world/c/digitalart and https://lemmy.ml/c/memes, and I didn't like the fact that these two prominently stayed on my feed. Unless post from other communities weren't highly rated, they weren't showing up, where I'm more interested in seeing new posts from niche communities.

I'm facing the same issue what I was facing with Reddit where important posts from smaller communities were getting skipped from my feed. Which I find very undesirable.

Althought I appreciate the memes and the artwork, I had to unsubscribe from them. Which is giving me better results.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected]
