PipedBot: no issues with it.
TldrBot: I get frustrated with the number of times I see a story where only the bot has commented. "There's someone here... No there's not".
It's not the bots fault really, but I wonder if it should wait until somebody else has commented so zero comment stories stay at zero.
I think most clients should implement some kind of logic to remove bot comments form the comment counts. AFAIK, lemmy already has a feature to distinguish bots(?), so it should probably should be possible to at least suggest some easy enough api for that if none exist currently.
