Is it possible to block bots? I see a ton of archival bots that repost content from reddit. No one interacts with these posts and I don’t care to see them. I have tried using the block user function, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. I’m not sure if this is a lemmy issue or a Connect issue. When I go to the bot profile page, it always times out. I’m assuming that is because there are so many posts from the bots. Anyone else have any experience with this?
You know, I didn’t realize you could block from the post. I was clicking on the bot and trying to block from the profile. Blocking from the post works. Thank you. That was my dumb. However, you also mentioned about a setting to not show bots. Is that accessible through connect or do you have to do web? I don’t see the setting.
As far as I know, that has to be done on the web. I haven’t seen any way in any other settings menu.
(I hope the screenshots are helpful!)
I really appreciate the help and the screen shots are helpful. Thank you very much.
You bet!
