Hm… oh, I got it. Yeah, forget what I said about “Scaled.”
And yeah, I’m bothered by frequent bot posts. I just recently unsubscribed from a bunch of fedia.io stuff because of it. I tried to be pretty selective about what feeds to add, refused a couple of requests for some ones, added spam filters for sources that like to sprinkle advertising into their articles, that kind of stuff. But I do agree, having anything that’s automated blasting into the feeds is probably a thing to be minimized unless people have specifically opted in to it. If there is something I can do from my end to make it less that way let me know, I’ve done pretty much all I could think of to make it less obnoxious.
Programming.dev, I know, is one of the places that removed rss.ponder.cat from their “All” feed for that reason, so you still have the option to subscribe, but it defaults to hidden. I don’t know how to do that but if the admins want to do it, they could ask, I’m sure it’s pretty simple.
Oh that’s an interesting idea. Seems like it would be the ideal solution if it’s not overly difficult to implement. @poVoq@slrpnk.net FYI, not sure if this is something that you’d like to investigate. We’re discussing this RSS feed feature which seems quite useful but might create problems for the all view. If there is a similar option for the various Lemmit bots, it might solve that problem as well.
Hmm, not sure how they did it. To my knowledge that is only an upcoming feature although now that I think about it I somewhat remember that it was already partially available in the current release backend but not exposed in the UI or so 🤔

Edit: indeed: https://mv-gh.github.io/lemmy_openapi_spec/#tag/Admin
Cool so it is possible. Seems like a good solution to the problem of automated communities that put out a lot of posts.
