We can expect this with any system that grows in size, becomes popular right? I don’t know the science behind it, but communities over a certain size naturally create subcommunities or attract partisans, antagonists, anarchists with a tendency to troll for fun. It’s the way of things.
That's why huge instances are bad, they can't moderate all those users (I am on a bigger instance myself tho don't judge me).
Nazis have been attacking Lemmy for quite awhile now. They've only really been finding success on a few problem instances, though.

I believe THIS is exactly what is being talked about when they say "Russian troll farm"
I have not seen this. Can you link to some examples?
