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 thing with app is: They don’t fit my workflow. I prefer scrolling through the timeline and open interesting posts in background to read later, or comment, or just close in random (or slightly biased) order. I sometimes even check two posts at the sime time by switching back and forth between them or have them in two separate browser windows. Apps simply do not have tabs.
