That bot is one of the few users I've had to block. I'm happy to sift through 'organic' posts that don't interest me, but when it's just reposting Reddit posts and losing the benefit of the discussion under that post, it kinda sucks
Maybe this is what's implied or I'm just being silly; What is to stop a bad actor spinning up a Lemmy instance, creating a bunch of bot accounts with no restrictions, and spamming other instances? Would the only route of action be for the non spam instances to individually defederate the spam ones? Seems like that would be a bit of a cat and mouse situation. I'm not too familiar with the inner workings and tools that Lemmy has that would be useful in this situation
Jerboa has some problems it needs to polish (although a lot of issues I have look like they've been resolved in PR's on the github page, ready for next release) but as an open source app for a previously tiny userbase, it does the job. Would switch over to Sync in a heartbeat though, if as you say, he's quick.
If you Ctrl+ Click English and Unspecified, it will select both. I've personally just clicked on the languages box, pressed Ctrl + A to select them all, so I can see posts in all languages. I had an issue at first where I accidentally selected only Undetermined and some Cyrillic language, so when I posted from jerboa (which I guess automatically selects the language if you have more than Unspecified set), it was marked as that language.
Low latency (edit: I should probably elaborate given the community I'm in - when looking for wireless headsets specifically for use while gaming, it's an easy way to know that what I'm getting is going to be low latency, and likely come with a specific receiver for that)
