Federation is a challenge in its own right, yeah. My particular pet peeve has been repost bots that flood feeds with 1000s of posts with no comments.
I just block them, and also instances like lemmygrad and hexbear. Probably won't work when you use a web browser, but I exclusively browse with the sync client.
Yeah I block bots and communities like hexbear, it’s just unfortunate that I feel like that’s become a prerequisite to Lemmy being enjoyable and that puts off new people
