The issue that I've been repeating ad-nauseum.
It's unappealing to new users, and implies that Lemmy is a shitty version of reddit.
"Lemmy is great, you just have to block all the spam!"
That doesn't really seem that different than any other site. You generally have to do some tweaking to get things the way you want them. Having "show bot accounts" as an option can cut all of the Reddit repost entirely. Even apart from that I looked at my block list and it looks like I've blocked five bots and I don't see any Reddit repost stuff at all now.
Bear in mind, Reddit itself is victim to reposts from Reddit by bot accounts but those bots are acting as if they were humans. On Lemmy bots can self identify as bots and it seems like most of the Reddit repost bots here are marked as such because they're not trying to fool people into thinking they're humans to gain karma to sell an account. Because there is an option to stop showing all bots it means you can block it all super easily.
