I’ve heard rumors of this coming but with this influx of SPAM Reddit bots, I need a solution. I can’t keep up with the number of communities to block them all individually. Without self-hosting, what options do I have?

    Block the bot instead?

      I can’t get the bot’s profile to load on my app or desktop, so I can’t block them. I also don’t want to blanket ban all bots in my settings either

        You don’t need to open their profile to block them, click the three dot menu in their posts/comments and there should be “Block user” option.

    Switch to an instance that isn't federated with all instances by default. For example, hexbear uses an Allowlist not a Blocklist
