I think today was the closing of the API, right? So all the bot reposts on Lemmy should go away now? I’m looking forward to posts from Lemmings dominating my feed again.

    You can also turn off display of bot accounts in Settings if you disable “Show Bot Accounts”.

    I joined Lemmy because I recognized that the policies on Reddit were exacerbating existing issues. Just like on Reddit, I wasn’t fond of seeing Twitter and Facebook reposts. However, for the record, I believe it’s acceptable if someone shares them selectively and with a purpose.

    I thought the API was just a cap, 60 per second or something. Shouldn’t be an issue for a bot posting every hour or so.
