I don’t really mind them all that much. The communities are easily blocked if you don’t like the particular type of content.

Despite the general cesspool that Reddit has become, it still has some good content within many of the smaller subs that are less affected by bots and politics. If I can get some of that content without giving Reddit an ounce of traffic, it’s fine by me.

That said, I’m also the type of Lemmy user who frequently scrolls through every post and runs out of new posts. My app marks every post as “read” when I scroll past it and often I clear the whole “top today” list. I don’t read every post though. Anyways, I appreciate any way to get more context on Lemmy.
