I'm finding the opposite...
Lots of posts made by bots, with majority top level comments being short quips and attempts at jokes as opposed to discussion. So many discussions devolve into ad hominems almost immediately.
Just like Reddit.
It's a social media phenomenon I think. The lowest common denominator will always dominate unless communities push against it.
I've found myself getting frustrated with the number of lemmy communities that are essentially just bots mirroring the respective reddit sub.
The lemmit.online bot specifically mirrors a lot of reddit, block that one account and the bot content drops significantly.
