The one thing preventing me from engaging with new posts is that I can’t tell what’s just a bot repost from reddit. Kinda annoying actually the bot traffic, some bots will have bot in their name and I can easily block those but I’m seeing bots that have normal looking names and I’m not going to dive into the user post history to suss out another bot I have better things to do. There’s no shareholders invested in lemmy ,why bother drumming up fake engagement with bot reposts? I’m not engaging with those no matter how hard you spam. So until that changes, I think I will continue sorting by popular.
Yes you are right. I have more of an issue at the comments/threads level but yeah, I’ve spent way to much getting familiar with the worst of the worst. They never stay long (post is deleted almost immediately after they are “dealt with”) bu its still too long.

DTouché 🤠Edit: another one bites the dust
Sort by popular is better until the bots stop reposting reddit posts and flooding new.
