Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I don't know about any clients but if you block the lemmit.online bot and the zerobytes.monster bot the reposts will drop by like 90%.
I'll have to see about doing that. I don't want to give reddit any clicks.
From my understanding when you click on the lemmit.online link it brings you to a redirected archive, not the actual link.
Even still, I agree because it's annoying having posts with guaranteed no comments. Those posts only work if there is engagement surrounding it. No engagement and it's just spam.
Oh thanks!
Haven't seen many for a while but the last couple of days they've flooded my in.
I did this a few months ago and it worked surprisingly well.
I was also annoyed by the number of Reddit reposts. I started blocking the accounts that posted that content when I saw it and the issue was largely fixed surprisingly quickly. It’s really not many accounts doing this but they put out a lot of posts.
