    Crushed? Or drove away tons of OC creators and active members leaving a bot filled wasteland?

      🙄

      Crushed. Lots lots more of over at reddit as well as a smaller percent reposting.

      Lemmys front page is a ton of bots reposting content from Reddit.

      Neither of the services have a lot of OC.

        It took a couple weeks but I’ve found that blocking some bot accounts and adjusting the sorting on the app I use has plenty of fresh content with active posts. It isn’t exactly the same as reddit in its prime, but I shouldn’t expect it to be either.

        It’s causing me to branch out into other topics and conversations that I probably would’ve missed on a gigantic platform like reddit. I think reddit made it easy to see interesting content because of how long it had to develop into a community. Lemmy is still a bit jumbled and fragmented, but the community seems to be sticking around and forming a new identity apart from reddit.

          Mind sharing which bots to block? Some bots are useful, so I’d rather not hide all bots.
