This is an excellent point. Thanks for taking the time to add this!

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.

Maybe your instance is federating with someone new that does a lot of bot posting? Sometimes all it takes is one person on the instance to join a very active bot community and next thing you know members are seeing a ton of new bot posts.

Editing to add- On Lemmy you can turn off viewing bot accounts completely in your account settings if you don’t ever want to see them.

Watch !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works you never know what might get posted.

If only the rest of the world was so honest!

Daily totals mate.

Boost offers both pretty readily.

Amazingly few users seem to realize this can be done.

Always nice to have more music in the rotation, thanks for posting!

Constructive criticism or meaningful suggestions should be welcomed imo, and when opinions differ reactions like yours are some of the best. I appreciate that you aren’t hellbent on everyone fitting in the same box! Seriously, thank you for the civil interactions!

Footnote- I typed out a long-winded post about fediverse philosophy and decided this isn’t the place for it. Maybe in another thread.

There’s definitely merit in what you’re saying but I’m also fine with it staying how it is.

The idea is that it should be easy to share what you have on, but we’re all using different services. IMO the easiest thing is using Lemmy’s title filling feature which is the song name by default with Spotify links. I believe the other services like YouTube and tidal work similarly.

Many of the posts in that community are made by members while they are working, which also makes me hesitant to enforce title rules on them. Quick and easy posts are easy to blast out when all you have is a second or two. Maybe in time as it becomes more than just a handful of people posting it should be revisited.

FWIW I’m ok with the communities I create never becoming popular on Lemmy. Most are created for a small group of friends to mess around on where other services don’t fit the bill. I’d much rather have fun posting when the mood strikes than worry about fitting a particular posting guideline. If like-minded people happen to join in, awesome. If not, we were having fun before and we’ll continue to have fun without them!

There’s been a decent amount of activity at !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works and the music is always all over the place. Popular music, obscure music, non American music, pretty much everything depending on the day.

The first word of the post is satire mate.

Insane how fast drones have evolved. The future is here and it’s horrifying.

I believe that’s currently a brick, the inevitable fate of every cybertruck

Pleasure to meet you comrade.

These days Lemmy, matrix, and signal.
