How does Lemmy deal with bots? (lemmy.world)

My community, !ultralight@lemmy.world, is small and relatively quiet for now but with Lemmy growing it's only a matter of time before bots show up.

Have any mods of larger communities dealt with any bots yet? Does the platform have any protection built in like AutoModerator, or will we end up using third party tools such as BotDefense? What has been your experience so far and what should moderators be doing to prepare?

edit: to clarify, i mean bad bots e.g. spam bots
