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

    You might as well block the entire lemmit.online instance since that is the main perpetrator of these cross posts.

    I just checked - it has nearly 170,000 posts and only 3 users. At some point one has to question whether these posts are even wanted by the general community or if it has just become spam.

    There is no to little engagement on these posts so they don’t bring anything new to discussion. And if the purpose is to enable users to view reddit content without actually going to reddit, there are sites which already exist for that purpose, e.g. libreddit.kavin.rocks.

    I personally dislike when their posts flood my feed so I have blocked everything.

      Agree. If ever there was a case to defederate from an instance, this is it IMO. Lemmit.online is all spam with zero engagement.

        Why defederate? They’re trivial to block if you don’t like them, but if some people didn’t like them then they wouldn’t be subscribed!
