Every post i try to open brings me to one of these stupid bot posts with the comments from the post I’m trying to interact with. I’ve just started blocking the bot account as it happens then i can open up the post i was interested in.

A number of people are coming from Reddit. This places the same content here, which facilitates them using kbin/lemmy. I think that it’s a positive.
My concern is that, say it’s an aita thread. The person who is asking, is not even on the other end. It serves no meaningful function as far as discussion and I just leave the thread.
AITA is one of the most glaring ones where the bots don’t make sense because of the need for interaction with the OP.
I don’t mind it so much with news communities and such since I’m mostly there for the article, not the OP’s thought about it.
There’s going to be some growing pains as we figure out what an acceptable use and amount of bots is, and while I see a use for them to create content now while the amount of active users is still relatively low, I’m hoping as Lemmy continues to grow, they’ll mostly get phased out
