So shout out to people behind the Lemmy bots. Obviously, the goal of these posts is to make people feel more comfortable with the content switch. Great for lurkers. However I am seeing some community bots for stuff that feels like it's supposed to be a discussion post but with no OP to discuss. The main candidate being something like https://lemmit.online/c/aitah

The problem is that now we have a community that is, for lack of a better word, spammed with bot posts, and where actuall posts will get lost in the feed. If we could contain these to a bot only community or instance, it would enable those who want to hide them, to easily do so

Yes, there's a B after the name in the web interface.
