Please report spam, some sources are okay but also post spam stories sometimes, I keep a blacklist and generally try to be a good citizen. If you want to have something that you don’t see, let me know.
Also, if you know of any duplication between these communities and something that already exists somewhere, please let me know. The point is to make available high quality content for people who want it, not to overwhelm with autoposted fluff.
Paywalled or partially paywalled content gets posted by a separate bot, @paywall@ibbit.at, to make it a little easier to block that for people who don’t want it.
Enjoy.
Never understood the reason for RSS bots and communities like this when there are already a ton of services and rss readers that do this already. This just makes Lemmy more spammy since the posts in these communities get federated in every instance. It also pollutes Lemmy search results, making it harder for people who want to find real discussions.
Could be. The overwhelming majority of people seem like they view it as a positive, but if you think of anything I can do beyond what I’ve already done to make it less impactful on the people who feel that it’s a negative, let me know. For example that’s why it’s segregated to a separate instance and not combined in with any other content so it’s easier to block.
(Actually, I think your instance has done something additional about it already, they marked a previous iteration with some kind of special flag that makes results from this instance not show up in the “home” feed which makes a good bit of sense to me. It might be worth checking if they’ve done that to ibbit.at specifically, they probably will want to if they haven’t already.)
