lemmit.online is a controversial lemmy server since its sole purpose is to run a bot that mirrors reddit posts to lemmy. Previous discussion 3 years ago about whether to block it: https://lemmy.ca/post/1380644

Currently it is blocked from lemmy.ca and I would like to unblock it to ease weaning off reddit gradually. If I can use lemmy.ca as my main site with links off to reddit on occassion I don't need to use reddit anymore to browse but just drop in for a specific post of interest.

The main complaint is it can fill up the all category with high volume of low interaction posts. This can be dealt with on a per user basis by blocking either the lemmit.online instance or blocking the bot@lemmit.online user.

Looking at the top 10 lemmy instances on https://fedidb.com/software/lemmy here's who allows or blocks the lemmit.online instance:

lemmy.world        ✅
lemmy.ml           ✅

lemmy.dbzer0.com   ✅
lemmy.ca           ❌

Please no. We didn't need reddit content mirrored here before, and as the quality there drops like rocks, we need it even less now.

I fonpt want to have to continually add more personal blocks on junk.
