While I want to block content bots, I don’t want to block useful bots like @CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world @remindme@mstdn.social. Because of this, I will block them one by one. I am sharing it here for community benefit. Any addition/removal is welcome.
- @linkbot@lemmy.link
- @bot@lemmit.online
- @KensandRssBot@lemmy.kensand.net
- @PostBot@chat.maiion.com
- @lemmybot@lemmy.staphup.nl
- @philly_bot@fanaticus.social

This may be a stupid question, but I can’t figure out how to find these bot’s profiles so I can block them.
You should be able to search them.
It’s hit an miss. I’ve been able to find some of their user profiles hotlinked by searching, but some searches just bring me back here.
I think I figured it out, though. If I copy/paste everything except for the initial @, then it works. For example, [my instance]/u/linkbot@lemmy.link takes me to their profile.
