    The majority of these communities were cleaned up by @TheDude@sh.itjust.works tonight but if you spot any more you can DM him or also raise the issue on the Matrix chat that we have here.

    We’re also working on implementing rate-limiting on our instance so these changes should make sh.itjust.works much less attractive to spammers.

  • Good question.
    You can’t “report it” from Lemmy because there’s not even a post there to report.
    You can probably DM @TheDude@sh.itjust.works directly within Lemmy.

    My guess is at some point, we’ll probably have to decide whether to require approval for creating a community instead of allowing everything and purging the garbage. Idk.

      It’s come to my attention that some lemmings feel the need to create and test multiple communities to determine which ones succeed - no response when I pointed out they could do so on an instance they created
