Hello everyone,

Trying to assess how many people among us block all bot accounts using the "Show bot accounts" checkbox in the accounts settings. I got reminded yesterday that the LW rules ask for every bot account to be flagged as such, which is now the case for @[email protected] .

As a consequence, if you block bot accounts, you might not see the daily thread from now on.

If that is an issue for too many people, I will look for a solution (the first coming to mind being moving the community to another instance).

As far as I am concerned, I understand the instance rules, for me it is more an issue with Lemmy technical limitations that do not allow accounts to schedule posts. Would that be possible in the platform itself, I wouldn't have to use that bot (and https://schedule.lemmings.world, a nice tool created by @[email protected] ) and the issue would be solved.

Let me know what you think!
