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.
Comment count should really just show "0 (1) comments"
