There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more “engagement” or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that’s a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)

    It showing up on all was exactly the problem. It was spam and it made reading all a bad experience. Id be for unbanning the bot if there was a way to keep it off all.

      Each user who minds could ban it themselves.

        That’s what I did. I didn’t know about the ban but I haven’t noticed any bots in awhile.

        That’s fair

      Maybe all should exclude bot accounts in general.
