I never see them, I think we got to opt out of them when we signed up?

There's a lemmy profile setting whether to show bots, you probably have that turned off.

I'm on kbin and can't find it. What are the bots like these days? Is it just these two bots or are there repost bots trying to copy reddit content?

[–] eco_game@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

I have bots on and it's mostly ever these two.

There are still reddit repost bots, but they are all on reddit repost instances. As I have those like two or three instances blocked, I don't see any of them.
