Recently, here’s a pretty serious spam bot on a federated community: https://fedia.io/u/@ThuleanSneed@startrek.website

While the spam posts are deleted there, they aren’t being deleted here. This is screwing up the comment sections on a lot of posts. Is there a solution for this?

    Kbin and Lemmy don’t seem to federate admin activity. I get a lot of spam from the various Kbin instances whereas Lemmy spam seems to be dealt with already.

    I think fixing this requires dev work on both the Lemmy side and the Kbin side.

    Report at least one of the posts from any spam account you see. I try to suspend and delete them as I see them, but alas I am not omniscient and don’t know where all the spam accounts are
