There are a handful of accounts, from one instance, that are the source of increasing amounts of SPAM in my feed.
In all cases the accounts have post history (their SPAM) and zero comment history. In every case the message encourages the reader to visit a web site, and we all know how that works.
Does reporting the posts do any good? I know I can block them, but that doesn’t stop the spread. Downvoting? Seriously, what’s the best approach on Lemmy to deal by with spammers?
report is seen by: admin of your instance, admin of reported user instance, admin of community it was posted in, and mods of that community. all of these people can do something about spammers
report, downvote, sort by subscribed only, not local or all
I was really enjoying sorting by all but it’s getting worse and worse. I would love to continue showing all posts, but it’s becoming such a pain to go through all the spam.
As any social site gains traction this is basically inevitable I’m afraid.
I think most of us have seen it happen over and over.
Do communities have admins? I thought it was only mods
i mean admin of instance of that community
Makes sense!
