<![CDATA[Is Lemmy also full of bots like Reddit?]]>I just found a account where it's comments are all the same stuff over and over again. It seems like spam bot. I thought only reddit had a bot problem but maybe Lemmy has it too?

Here's the account:

In such cases mods or users who detect such an account will ban or block it, I think.

Right?

In my opinion, lemmy is far better than reddit.

Also you are in a more popular instance, that can also be a reason you are seeing more bot accounts.

If Lemmy is "full of" them off harder to tell and more subjective, but I'd say no. It's more of an issue in the larger communities, less so in niche communities. There's fundamentally no solution to this, regardless of the platform.
