I’ve come across quite a few bots, but I’m a mod so it might be that that’s why. The mods and admins here on my instance are amazing, they catch a lot of crap. I think you’re witnessing well ran instances, not an absence of bots.
They don’t show up on the well ran ones, so that only matters if you’re on the lesser instance. Those instances get blocked pretty quickly.
My only gripe with lemmy is that the huge instance controls what is on the all page and what is seen in their lemmy user’s accounts. I think the biggest is owned by reddit or meta or some other place like that. Most handle the bots pretty well.

Interesting, but what’s stopping the bots from just jumping to a less well-ran instance?
