I didn’t join lemmy to just see Reddit content regurgitated here.

    I’m wondering the same, everyone is saying block the account but noone is saying what they’re called / how they can tell.

    Maybe it’s something super obvious like redditrepostbot but I haven’t seen any myself so who knows

      Okay, thank you! As long as I’m not the only one in the dark about this lol I haven’t been on reddit since the start of the protests, so if I haven’t seen it it’s new to me 🤷‍♂️

        The bot they are talking about isn’t trying to hide that it is a Reddit reposting bot. The posts from that bot start with some boilerplate like “this content is copied from /r/blah”.

        So if you aren’t seeing this content, there is nothing you need to do. If you do see this content, block the user that posted it.

        Edit: the Reddit bot that I blocked is bot@lemmit.online
