lemmit.online is a controversial lemmy server since its sole purpose is to run a bot that mirrors reddit posts to lemmy. Previous discussion 3 years ago about whether to block it: https://lemmy.ca/post/1380644

Currently it is blocked from lemmy.ca and I would like to unblock it to ease weaning off reddit gradually. If I can use lemmy.ca as my main site with links off to reddit on occassion I don’t need to use reddit anymore to browse but just drop in for a specific post of interest.

The main complaint is it can fill up the all category with high volume of low interaction posts. This can be dealt with on a per user basis by blocking either the lemmit.online instance or blocking the bot@lemmit.online user.

Looking at the top 10 lemmy instances on https://fedidb.com/software/lemmy here’s who allows or blocks the lemmit.online instance:

lemmy.world        ✅
lemmy.ml           ✅
sh.itjust.works    ✅
lemmy.dbzer0.com   ✅
lemmy.ca           ❌
programming.dev    ✅
lemmy.zip          ✅
lemmy.blahaj.zone  ❓
ttrpg.network      ✅
lemmy.one          ✅

    Thanks for the information!

    Need to be an admin on a lemmy server to view the banned users using the lemmy API:

    https://lemmy.ca/api/v3/user/banned

    https://lemmy.zip/api/v3/user/banned

    Looking at https://lemmy.zip/u/bot@lemmit.online I see the last post was 10 months ago so it looks like it was banned around then.

    So instead of just looking at whether the lemmit.online instance is/isn’t blocked but looking if there are recent posts from bot@lemmit.online across the top 10 lemmy servers I see:

    lemmy.world        ❌
lemmy.ml           ❌
sh.itjust.works    ❌
lemmy.dbzer0.com   ✅
lemmy.ca           ❌
programming.dev    ✅
lemmy.zip          ❌
lemmy.blahaj.zone  ❓
ttrpg.network      ✅
lemmy.one          ✅
