For example: Funzobot, News bot, and Finance bot.

      Each Lemmy comment (and post) has a field for its language to be set so people can filter out ones they don’t speak. Sounds like some bots aren’t configured properly

      I’m talking about Lemmy bots in general, on any instances.

      I view all and have to block bots fairly often as they’re posting things in languages I can’t read in large amounts.

      I think they’re supposed to use language tags and are not, but I just block them because of there being a large amount of unhelpful content.

      And let’s be honest, there’s always gonna be a ton of that, hence my filtering. But if the people making bots to post content could make sure the posts are properly marked, I wouldn’t need to block them and would continue to see the content they post that I can read.
