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?

    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.
