So I love using lemmy, but I browse all a lot in order to discover more communities as Lemmy is still growing a lot.

However, I’m really annoyed with the lemmit.online bot. For those unfamiliar, users can request the bot to automatically x-post popular post to Lemmy. The annoying thing is that these posts are almost never interacted with as they are clearly marked as bot posts.

I can’t seem to find a way to block the user account or lemmit.online as a whole.

Anyone face the same issue and have a solution?

    You can’t block an entire instance yet, unless you fire up your own instance.

    I saw the Connect app for Lemmy on android will do this, and I fully expect Voyager (wefwef) to add the ability, as this is simple to implement in-app

    Edit-just block annoying communities

      Cheers, thank you! From what I can see, there’s also no way to block that user, or to filter out certain key phrases? (As the bot always prefaces the post with the same phrase, it could be filtered out in that way).

      I’m on the App Store version 0.1

        Some apps like Connect let you block keywords, instances, etc. Ive blocked the whole lemmit instance for the same reason as you. Ideally Lemmy adds this feature at some point.

        You should be able to block the lemmit user and community in the meantime.
