Hey OP, did you know your account is set to appear as a bot and many might be filtering it.

bobagem,

I did not know. Thanks for telling me. Fixed.

can,

Thank you for acknowledging my attempt! I’ve made similar comments to other users at least five times and they all went ignored.

Shouldn’t that mean they are… bots…?

can, (edited )

That’s all I can conclude. I was actually surprised OP replied. But I knew they were human by how they interacted with users.

DarkThoughts,

I mean. There are quite a few legit bots around. Especially on the news subs. The fediverse isn't quite as saturated yet with legit content submissions.

can,

But engaging in the comments? I’m not talking about alien.top either.

DarkThoughts,

I hope not. Although I keep seeing some people posting the same shit I saw on Reddit. Might just be lazy commenting though.

can,

Old habits die hard

bobagem,

Thank you. I’m going to try again now.

I’m using sync on Android and I don’t believe that I can change the setting there. I can change the setting for whether I filter bot accounts, and so that confused me for a bit about whether I was misinterpreting that setting.

I did find the setting in a web browser on my home instance. And I thought I corrected it, and I thought I saved my change. Updates and screenshots to follow momentarily.

Is this a setting that defaults to bot‽

bobagem, (edited )

When I search for this setting in Sync it shows up.

But when I click on it it goes to a page that does not offer the setting either at the top level or buried inside of anything else.

When I go to look for this setting again in my home instance, I find that it is in fact now correctly set. It was not correctly set when I posted. So my fix stuck.

I assume, as someone else suggested, that there’s some caching going on somewhere, either on the transmitting end or the receiving end.

That’s fair: as far as Lemmy knows it was posted by a self-declared bot, even if that puppet later became a real boy.

Still have the B icon next to your name.

can,

Really? What app are you using? Maybe it’s cached? The bot icon on sync went away for me as soon as OP turned it off.

Web mobile

can,

Oh that’s even more confusing. Maybe make a bug report?

PoolloverNathan, (edited )

Sync user here, OP still has bot icon.

Edit: Gone now

can,

I continue to be further confused.

Man I swear I remember this on reddit… or a post similar to it.

I remember many of my fellow Americans couldn’t understand the date format.

Edit: And it looks like the same thing happened here…

I heard about one called Raccoon being made and now I am waiting for that to have a download all for the name alone. I’d like to keep with Liftoff but the dev had a kid not too long ago and that was the last we’ve heard from him. Unless something changes soon, 0.19 Lemmy is gonna break Liftoff :(
