Yeah, I thought the suggest a community community there would be useful (and I nicked the idea) but the bot reads the request, sets up the community then copies posts over from Reddit.
It's come up elsewhere and pretty much everyone blocks the bot (click through to the profile and you get the option).
It's early days and we are still figuring everything out but seems like a poor way to add content.
Yeah; having to pick through a flood of zero-effort content in order to find the good stuff is not really what I'm looking for in an aggregator. Will see if I can find that 'block' button myself...
I haven’t experienced this so far but i think most of the apps or browsers have an option to filter keywords out so you might be able to use that option to hide them from your feed.

There seems to be a lot of low-effort/bot posting on those, and I'm guessing with time different defed lists may be made for communities that don't want spam.
