First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.

It’s an automatic bot xposting from reddit, making this community just as bad as r/technology, which kind frankly only revolves around politics and social media platforms.

I’ve had the user blocked 2 weeks now, and this community is muuuuch more enjoyable and is actually about technology now.

Just wanted to share a positive experience.

    Or segment into more than 1 bot. 1 tries to only surface tech, another is less choosey. Then we block per taste. I’m not talking about 5 bots. 2, maybe 3.

      I hear you but as a bot writer, it’s not that simple. No one is going to write multiple bots when one would suffice. It’s easier to limit one bot than make more

        as a bot writer

        Ooh, how does one make a Lemmy bot? A couple of communities I moderate could benefit from a bot to post regular threads based on a template or respond to comments that contain key phrases.

          I’m pretty new to Lemmy but it’s probably pretty similar to other platforms. Email me, [my username] @ gmail

          I can at least get you started if not just make it for you. Might as well learn how since I’m here!

          edit: I got it, it’s easy. Email me and we can chat. I can even host it for you until the code is complete.
