Do I just block these bot accounts?
My understanding is they’re just copying posts from Reddit to Lemmy, but I’ve never seen anyone comment on these posts, or even up/down vote, and they just seem to take up a lot of screen.
Would the be any unintended consequences blocking these accounts?
I blocked them and it’s definitely an improvement.
Thanks for mentioning that. I left the communities that employ them but your solution makes more sense.
If you block them do you still see things like tldr bot?
Sure, I only block the specific bots I don’t want to see. Mainly the Lemmit bot, which is the one reposting all the reddit content. Other bots are unaffected.

Go for it. I blocked most of them and it’s definitely better.
Definitely block them if you’re not interested. Your feed will improve immensely.
You can hide posts from all bot accounts in your settings.
I recommend asking your instance admins to ban them.
