Comment on How can we stop bots from dominating lemmy?

It’s pretty easy to handle. Lemmy instances already have the option to close or limit signups to “by approval.”

Some bots are allowed, and you can block them if you don’t like them, but I find the best way is to report the other ones that generate spam. There’s lots of instance admins and community mods who care about genuine user interaction, so letting them keep Lemmy clean (and helping your admin with server costs) is still the best and most effective method.
