Most of the bots on Lemmy so far are just link-dumping from Reddit and RSS feeds. It ruins All and it looks like a lot of it is starting to go to community farming. I saw one yesterday where the bot was using multiple accounts and posting shortened links to survey sites across a bunch of Astro-turfed communities.
The ones I've encountered so far were actually helpful like @CommunityLinkFixer and PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks but I have yet to find any annoying ones like that Haiku generator bot from reddit. I'm not sure whether there is a measurement converter bot yet but if there is none, it would be a welcome addition.
Bots that want to be here on Lemmy.World has to follow some bot-rules. This was to avoid most of the Reddit reporters and general spammy bots. Here is a list of bots that i know of:
(I am not pinging the bots, as that will most likely activate them and make them answer me in some way)

Not really. It often clips out important bits of information, some that can completely change the narrative.

I like the one that shows people how to make instance-neutral links.

The Piped link bot is obnoxious and unnecessary
