is there a way to block the automated archive posts?

I'm guessing there isn't at the moment, but I can't stand how overloaded the feed gets with the copy and pasted posts from reddit.

I get that a lot of communities here are small and are trying to add content to up engagement, but, for example, I'll see 5 plus posts from r/aitah in a row with no comments and I don't see why many people would even consider replying when the OOP isn't even here to see it.

I'm actually considering blocking some of the communities that have a lot of this, but don't want them gone once their original Lemmy posts get more frequent.

Either block the community or block the bot. The latter is the better option, imo.

This is doable in-app, go to the bots profile page and there should be a block button.

You can hide Bot posts under your user settings. That's what I did.

Is there one bot account posting these, or one bot per community? Block the bot rather than the community.
