Are you guys only rarely seeing Reddit sources on lemmy? With these shitty lemmit bots inundating this site with literally just links to Reddit without even any preview, I’m seeing almost exclusively Reddit links. It’s honestly make me rethink using lemmy recently.

Those bots are worth blocking. There never appears to be any discussion on the posts, so you won't miss anything.

Honestly, there are a few communities that rely on it—the more meme/picture-centric and the advice-centric ones—that I don’t want to completely block out. So I’ve been going and blocking the communities that flood my feed with minutes-old Reddit posts that don’t even offer the text to read or a picture to look at. I will say as well, I don’t know what causes one to include text but not the other, but I do also enjoy reading some of those insane stories posted on some subreddit I never subscribed to like relationship advice or drugs stories or something. There’s some wild shit. I don’t need the conversation in the comments to enjoy the batshit story

Thanks!

I was thinking more like:

https://teddit.net/

Teddit's also good, but I prefer libreddit's UI

You can use farside.link to automatically redirect to working instances but it's very hit or miss for reddit

Sometimes you have to try it five or more times

Ignore it

Yes, that is becoming the norm, similar to websites that want adblock removed or signin popups.

Aside from lemmy what do you use for info. and other?
