FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.
Maybe the admin got hacked?
edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

Swear this is the same guy that did the trending community spam a few days ago, he was angry about being banned for squatting on known subreddit names here on Lemmy, even the compromised admin account said something about it in her comments before this happened 🤦♂️
Wait, was that the one that had a community list well into the twenties? Or was that someone else? I don’t think all that stuff reached me, but I did hear about a wannabe powermod like a week and a half ago. Much good that does anyone in a defederated system.
His username at the time was “LMAO” and I think so… he did it again on another Lemmy instance but used a different username that time as well 😂
Script kiddies. insert eyeroll emoji here
Some information I have posted to Lemmy.World:
I am not a super code-literate person so bare with me on this… But. Still please becareful. There appears to be a vulnerability.
Users are posting images like the following:
And inside hidden is JavaScript code that when executed can take cookie information and send it to a URL address.
Among other things. At this time if you see an image please click the icon circled before clicking the link. DO NOT CLICK THE IMAGE. If you see anything suspicious, please report it immediately. It is better a false report than a missed one.
I have seen multiple posts by these people during the attack. It is most certainly related to JS.
lmao I’m so stupid I pressed on that image and now my account is compromised. oh well it forced to create another and this is my first hack yayyyyy!
There’s so many things wrong with this I don’t even know where to start
I think it’s hilarious that Reddit protesters were redirected to NSFW content, karma is coming around lmfao
