Downvote, Report it, and move on. Not much can be done from the user side.
It's just too bad. They are spamming from so many different instances. I'm assuming ones with open registration turned on. So they can't ban in bulk. Also why is it just this community getting hit like this?
It's not just this community, or even just Lemmy... Mastodon and other Federation services all struggling with the same issue at the moment
Yeah I'm seeing that now. It just started here for me
It's a shitty situation that's causing mods and users alike a lot of frustration and might be a bit before it's sorted.
Unfortunately I think this is something that will need to be dealt with Federation wide before it's under control... But even then it'll still add a lot of extra ongoing work to the mods of instances and communities just to clean up anything that gets through
I agree. Its a systemic issue. I‘ve stepped up as a mod for !opensource@lemmy.ml to combat this. Feel free to step up in other communities to help meanwhile.
The solution will probably be reputation/timelimit based or maybe federating ip bans. Bans already federate I think. At least my instance has a ton of names on the banlist although I havent banned as many people.
Any reason why there is no tools for allowing a community to say restrict first post(s) to text only until they get a # of positive likes? Or ability to allow communities to require 1 comment on a specific topic until can post own?
