In quite a few of the communities I subscribe to, a portion of the content is provided by bots reposting items from corresponding subreddits. This is often useful, but it’d be helpful to have a filter that would show only “native” Lemmy posts, since these tend to attract more dialog.
Perhaps this could be done by looking for the presence of Reddit URLs in the post text, and/or by triggering on common strings such as “rss” or “bot” in the username.
Thanks for building such a great app.
Your point is well taken. However, there are communities where some of the bot posted content is just interesting enough to read, and I’m not sure that the owners of the rss@ or b0t@ accounts care much about their upvote / downvote ratios, but I suppose it could help some of Voyager’s sorting filters.
