For example: Funzobot, News bot, and Finance bot.

      I’m talking about Lemmy bots in general, on any instances.

      I view all and have to block bots fairly often as they’re posting things in languages I can’t read in large amounts.

      I think they’re supposed to use language tags and are not, but I just block them because of there being a large amount of unhelpful content.

      And let’s be honest, there’s always gonna be a ton of that, hence my filtering. But if the people making bots to post content could make sure the posts are properly marked, I wouldn’t need to block them and would continue to see the content they post that I can read.

      Each Lemmy comment (and post) has a field for its language to be set so people can filter out ones they don’t speak. Sounds like some bots aren’t configured properly
