wait, like user created bots or did Lemmy specifically make them to inflate the site’s userbase?

Lemmy also has bots though. Luckily you can block them.

When someone specifically makes a bot they can mark the account the bot uses as a bot. And you can filter those out.
Of course nothing keeps someone from not marking a bot as a bot.

I think it’s more fun to stick a tag on them. Depends on the bot of course
