Every post i try to open brings me to one of these stupid bot posts with the comments from the post I’m trying to interact with. I’ve just started blocking the bot account as it happens then i can open up the post i was interested in.
It’s not the bots, it’s a Lemmy bug.
Fixed soon hopefully.

Edit: websockets issue
Thanks. I was wondering why this was happening to me
The problem was a user cross posting to irrelevant communities. The user account has been banned.
That might be a different issue from what I was seeing. The posts I saw were valid posts in the community where they were posted, but I was seeing them replacing different posts. However, it was definitely a glitch.
I’d click on a post, and the post that would appear would be different. Sports posts for the most part, but not always. The comments would be from the one I had intended to open. If I’d go back and click on it again it would usually open correctly the second time (or sometimes the 3rd or 4th).
If this is the websockets issue, it’s the same thing the latest Lemmy software update is designed to patch once it’s incorporated by instances, correct?
How about the bots that are just ripping every post from the original reddit community and posting it to a copy community here.
I’d call that pretty low effort community building
I think defederating lemmit would be a good idea, if I want to read Reddit content I would go back to Reddit.
Yeah, I love automating stuff as much as the next guy, but I’m not the most keen on this. I think at the very least these kinds of posts / communities should be on their own instances.
I’ve just blocked the bot from lemmit, it’s hundreds of posts with zero comments or engagement
A number of people are coming from Reddit. This places the same content here, which facilitates them using kbin/lemmy. I think that it’s a positive.
My concern is that, say it’s an aita thread. The person who is asking, is not even on the other end. It serves no meaningful function as far as discussion and I just leave the thread.
Hey, the Fanaticus score bots are great!
The user who crossposted those threads to all the other unrelated communities - not so great.nevermind, it looks like a bugUh, the bot isn’t the problem. It is the user Kitties@fanaticus.social that was the problem. That account seems to be gone…
