I see lots of accounts like “bot” and “bOt” whatever. They’re just reposting hundreds of thousands of Reddit posts.

This is garbage.

    Yeah it’s incredibly annoying, especially since I like scrolling through new. You can turn posts by bot accounts off in the settings (on the website, Im not sure apps support it) no need to manually block as someone else suggested.

    It’s kind of dead without them, and you can block the annoying ones. I look forward to growth that wouldn’t need content reposted.

      Exactly this, it sucks but it’s a chicken and the egg problem, platform needs people to make content, but you need content for people to join

        So that’s why we reached a million posts. Fakery.

      Is there any way to filter them out instead of blocking subs that are currently being flooded? Some of the subs are ones I would want to join, but don’t want the bot spam they’re currently getting
