Adding on to this. I believe in Apollo the button only hid the posts on the client side. So they weren’t marked as hidden in reddit.

I assume Kbin has an entirely different api. Maybe Memmy can be updated to communicate with both, but I don’t think it current does that.
I just use a lemmy server local to me and subscribe to any Kbin communities that I’m interested in. Not really missing out on anything other than subscribing to mastodon/microblog accounts.
The bot is not posting to communities on lemmy.ca. It’s posting to lemmit.online. If any user on lemmy.ca subscribes to a community from lemmit.online, the bot’s posts will start to show up on the “all” homepage.
I’ve already blocked this bot on my account because i use the all page to find new communities. Before that bot was blocked, all I would see were the posts it made.
I agree with other users in this comment section that the admins should be as hands off as possible and leave it up to the users.
Depending on what you’re downloading (media - TV, movies, music) usenet could be the better approach.
If you are acquiring that type of content, look into the *arr services and setup guides.
I don’t understand the concept of peer to peer in this scenario. Isn’t lemmy essentially peer to peer?
