How to about that bot that reposts r/buildapc? What even is the point of reposting people's questions if they they're on another platform and won't see the it?

I have blocked most bots that regurgitate Reddit content, you should try it because it's make for a more genuine experience when browsing All.

You mean that feddit or whatever instance? I see the point as just sharing content. Sad no one comments lol

lemmit.online? I think it was the first instance I blocked that hadn't been defederated by my admins.

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Ah yes. Why block it? You use all a lot?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 9 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah I almost always use either All or Local, or head straight to a specific community. Very rarely browse my Subscribed communities here on Lemmy…it's just a habit I got into after I switched and never got out of.

Yeah top 12 hours for me. I want to see new communities.

Ah okay, then that makes sense. I wish I could browse all... cries in individual instance.

I'm pretty sure there was some tool to populate instances with content, I think by creating an artificial user that automatically follows communities or something. Don't know how to find it though.

I use All all the time unless I’m looking for content on a specific topic. And yeah I block the regurgitators for sure.
