It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

    I say allow it if it can be opted out. Having a ‘repost’ or ‘bot’ tag, and a filter would solve it for me.
    But it might be a lot of work to implement.

      Lemmy actually has this feature already. Accounts can mark themselves as a bot and also whether they see bot accounts. Because of that, I can’t imagine it would be a lot of work to implement on kbin.

        Yeah you can filter out bot accounts but presumably there maybe other types of bot posts that might be relevant or interesting. I’m still so new to Lemmy that I don’t know yet so I’m hesitant to block them all like that
