Is there a way to filter out bot posts?

Not comments are fine, but I don't want to see posts without real users behind them.

In your profile there is an option for bots.

Show bot accounts

Try toggling that. It seems to be on by default.

I believe that toggle is just for "bot accounts" which if checked just marks your account as a bot.

EDIT: ignore me. There's a bot account toggle and show bot accounts. Idk why I didn't notice that before. Apologies

I feel like this setting would be a lot more useful if it was per community. Plenty of sports communities use bots to set up gameday discussion threads that I don't want to miss, but I DO want to miss the ocean of garbage reddit reposts drowning out actual human interaction.

Which isn't a critique of your very relevant suggestion, but rather a lament that people think that communities somehow get better when robots are posting junk no one reads.
