Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.

At first it didn’t bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.

I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.

      If they’re well-behaved bots, there’s a “bot user” flag the creator would set on the lemmy profile/settings page. That’s the available in the API and usually shows up as a B tag on the web UI (hovering says bot iirc) and a robot icon in many of the apps.
