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?
The report goes to your local server admins as well as the community admins. It’s possible with enough reports the account or instance could get banned by either.
