It has its own communities. It doesn’t flood others. These communities are even requested by people on the instance lol. Also at the top of every post is describing where it’s from with a link and the original ops username.
Moderation issues, missing admins, kbin moderation not federating and a bunch of others things are a lot worse things.
If you’re a new Lemmy user popping into your all feed on an instance federated with spammit.online, your perception of Lemmy is hundreds of reposts with no comments and no engagement, all pointing you back to Reddit. It’s asinine
I understand all the complaints but also don’t find it that serious. I’ve also had the bot blocked for awhile now though too so maybe it’s just gotten a lot worse. I find a lot of other communities worse for my eyeballs like dongs and furries but I have those blocked too.
The biggest problem is when someone comes here from Reddit, you know what they see by default? A bunch of bullshit from Reddit, linking back to Reddit.
I really don’t feel like this point should need to be beaten like this but repost bots harm Lemmy as a whole and should at best not be allowed to federate content
