Yea me too ... I don't think I really know what this is about.
I've recently got the feeling that there is a pocket of lemmy that is much more of a reddit replication than I was aware of. Like, I think a bunch of the big communities over on lemmy.world like TIL or Asklemmy etc (I'm not sure I subscribe to any of these) are all affiliated and moderated by the same team ... which seems like a pretty dedicated effort to getting a new-Reddit set up. Cool if that's your thing ... but I'd be guessing that it's in that sort of space that bots are more prevalent??
Blocking the lemmit bot was enough to avoid them for me.
what's that bot? Does it cross post from reddit?
Yes
