Most postings on lemmy are simply Reddit “archive” bots. Why is this so prevalent?

Blocking the bots has really gone a long way to make my Lemmy experience more enjoyable.

Is it a matter of simply blocking the users that are bots?

Blocking is good option to improve individual experience, but a flood of low effort, spammy content from bots makes a very bad first impression on newcomers.
