Am I just noticing them more now? It’s like every other post now is a bot. Please don’t tell me that lemmy is about to be like reddit where it’s only bots that post anything at all

      If you’re using the Boost app, there is a toggle for it. You can find it by going to your profile and hitting the “Edit” button.

      How would Lemmy identify who the bots are

      They are meant to be self reporting/labeled by the creator. There is also a setting for that in the account page.

      Note that these options will be slightly different to change on the webui but it can be done even if you aren’t a Boost user.
