Ah I guess I don’t have context into that side of Reddit but given reddits scale, is a huge number of bots 1% of traffic/posts? 5%, 25%? How bad was it from your experience?

It is nice though and often eye opening to read about a lot of the problems and ideas that people have that may not be mainstream. I feel like even when I disagree with posts in the fediverse, I’m learning a lot.
I think that the lemmy/kbin fediverse communities are honestly more of a bubble than Reddit is. To some extent Reddit has gone mainstream (critical mass) and so yes you get some bubbles from moderation but the averages for up/down votes probably more accurately (than fediverse anyway) reflect societies opinions. fediverse suffers from bubbles in a different way where it hasn’t reached critical mass and from what I can tell, marginalized groups have flocked to the fediverse more quickly than most and thus have outsized representation her. And that is reflected in the posts that make the front page on instances. At least on kbin judging from the posts that make front page one might assume half of the people out there are autistic, adhd, lgbtq+, Star Trek fans. Unless my understanding of current demographics is way off, those groups make up a much smaller sample of the overall population. Not saying this is a problem but from someone that doesn’t really fall into any marginalized groups, the opinions upvoted and popular on this site often do not align with what the general population (at least in the USA) tends to think and, perhaps unfortunately, also vote for.
I just picked this game up last month and did my first rocket launch without robots. Now playing again with a friend and he has shown me the way. Go forth my beautiful robot swarm.

They provide the data with and without food/energy. Looks like as of Dec 23, including food and energy reduces cpi when compared against excluding it because energy prices have dropped.
