    Just sucks that every new user will have to jump through hoops and block a dozen accounts before Lemmy is useable.

    Not to mention that even opening some of the bot accounts pages to block them crashes the page sometimes because they have so many posts

      Truthfully I found I have had to block quite a few more communities than just the reddit bots. Everything in the fediverse has required work so far. Worth it imo though.

        Can we have group blocks?

        Let users collaborate on the list of accounts and domains they want to block. E. g. have a special type of channel and every link that is posted and upvoted is blocked.

        Some bots are actually useful; article shorteners for example.

        I don’t want to disable all bots just because of a few bad actors.

        Yes. Some people just like to complain. There’s plenty of stuff that needs blocked that are not bots.

      Good thing I can block them just from their post. Some Lemmy apps are cool.

      (on Liftoff i can, on thunder I can’t).

        Jerboa lets you block the OP/community without even opening the post, let alone the OPs profile.

      How is it crashing? Don’t most Lemmy instances only load like 20 per page or something?

        Probably using a poorly coded 3rd party app. There are so many phone apps now any many are still in the early stages of development. I saw another user saying “Blocking a bot account crashes my app” but I fail to see how that’s Lemmy’s fault
