The Reddit repost bots are lousy. I really hope the API deprecation takes them out.

You can also turn off display of bot accounts in Settings if you disable "Show Bot Accounts".
Mind = blown. Thanks for the tip!
Cool, thanks
I joined Lemmy because I recognized that the policies on Reddit were exacerbating existing issues. Just like on Reddit, I wasn't fond of seeing Twitter and Facebook reposts. However, for the record, I believe it's acceptable if someone shares them selectively and with a purpose.
I'm mostly excited to see how we can all contribute to building a fresh and unique experience here.
I’d be happy if the bot reposts were over with
I thought the API was just a cap, 60 per second or something. Shouldn't be an issue for a bot posting every hour or so.
if you are talking about lemmit.online i think it works by scraping reddit pages, it does not rely on the api best thing to do is block and move on
