Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.
At first it didn’t bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.
I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.
How do we know that they are bots ?
If they’re well-behaved bots, there’s a “bot user” flag the creator would set on the lemmy profile/settings page. That’s the available in the API and usually shows up as a
Btag on the web UI (hovering says bot iirc) and a robot icon in many of the apps.Because they often have “bot” in their name to make it clear.
