I feel like this setting would be a lot more useful if it was per community. Plenty of sports communities use bots to set up gameday discussion threads that I don’t want to miss, but I DO want to miss the ocean of garbage reddit reposts drowning out actual human interaction.
Which isn’t a critique of your very relevant suggestion, but rather a lament that people think that communities somehow get better when robots are posting junk no one reads.
The volume of certain bots is unscrollable though. The world news and botit bots generate as much post volume as the rest of the lemmyverse combined if you exclude like the top-five highest volume communities.
I feel like you either have to block the accounts, block all bots, or have your feed overrun by them.
In your profile there is an option for bots.
Show bot accounts
Try toggling that. It seems to be on by default.
I believe that toggle is just for “bot accounts” which if checked just marks your account as a bot.
EDIT: ignore me. There’s a bot account toggle and show bot accounts. Idk why I didn’t notice that before. Apologies
You also check from the bottom up?
We call it “Aussie style” up here 🤣

This is the kind of thing I’m thinking too. Long run it’s not a big deal, because I can just scroll past the bot posts.
