seems like it's 97% memes or news articles. i love a good shitpost but this site would be even better with in depth nuanced discussion -- especially with a higher quality userbase than reddit

You can block bot posts in your feed. And there are certain instances that are pretty much all bot posts you can just stay away from in general. But I completely agree about them being a problem. Lemmy needs it's own original content if it's ever going to succeed. Treating it like a Reddit mirror isn't going to move our community anywhere.
