We usually hide bot communities here which would include zerobytes but my hiding system recently broke a bit due to the 0.19 update so I haven't hid any recently
I can fix that and hide the new communities that popped up
(Hiding just means they dont show on the feeds by default but show for someone if they subscribe to them)
Edit: Fixed the issues with my system and hid the main ones that appeared in the scaled feed, ill hide more as I see them
Edit #2: There is also a way to block an instance like you said by going to your user settings and then the blocks tab on web but this is one case that should be getting handled by us
Thanks a lot!
I wasn’t aware I could block an instance via my user’s setting in the web UI. But I don’t see anymore these bot generated communities in the feed now.
Thanks again!
