Same, I was mostly a lurker. I just joined Lemmy to check out the alternatives while the blackout proceeds. I'm curious - in which subreddits did you see most of the gpt comments coming up or was it mostly an all-around thing? I didn't think I saw too many in my feed. Still, it might also be because feeds I like such as r/crochet don't really need to gpt-ify most of their comments. I'd assume that would more be in AITA or those types of reddits that lend themselves to spinning fictional yarns.

Big ones. Such clean academic answers left instantly to casual comments, that was weird. I was in smaller subs and never a problem, expecially the pixel dungeon ones and the roguelkes in general. Plant id and similar subs were good too, but i did not depend on those alone, there's so many resources for that.

I checked in on the trash fire yesterday, and the smaller hobby-oriented subs I'm on were heavily targeted, possibly to keep up the illusion of engagement during the blackout. I didn't dive into what's happening on the comments side, but sorting by New was a trip. But outside of the blackout, yeah, usually I steer clear of the big communities and life isn't too full of bots.
