Don’t get me wrong, I like the news feed, but now I understand why it became a separate thread in Reddit.

Same boat as you. It was your comment that made me realize the one filling my feed with nothing but news was all only linkbot and when I blocked it out of curiosity, I could see memes and user posts again. It was posting so often it was literally drowning out every other subject.

I think it's nice to keep up with news on a platform that doesn't seem so US-centric and full of vitriol, and I'll be sad to see it go. Might turn the block on and off. But I'm already subbed to a news community.

Dumb question (new to Lemmy) but how does one block bots from feed? Isn't that up to the community the post originated from?
