Yep, just found it the moment I realized it was a thing in this thread - go to your account settings and you’ll find an option to unselect bot accounts
I wish there was a way to just mark bot accounts…like finding out it’s a bot doing most the posting in TIL…wtf is that? If the community needs a bot to grow it, perhaps it’s not an important community on Lemmy at this time? Perhaps there’s another sub that’s going to grow more organically? In which we will infact learn something today?
Just want bot-less communities (other than fun/helpful ones that aren’t Grond) that aren’t headed by greed. Jfc.
Where abouts? The only option I see is “bot account” tick box which I have switched off (but still see bots). I thought that option was whether you are a bot account?
Theres a setting to hide bot accounts?
I have been frustrated with how many repost bots are across various instances. And why theres so god damn many “sports-team-name_bots”
Note that you can block specific accounts it you want. If you see an irritant you can block it.

The whole drive to recreate every single subreddit by any means necessary is misguided. Lemmy should be its own place, not a facsimile of Reddit.
Exactly, people will always keep creating something. Just need an open ground to show it to others.

It’s right under “bot account” on my screen…I’m on the desktop site though (thru my phone but still)
Thanks!!
