Comment on Spam issue

Have you been reporting the communities and posts with some detail in the report? I haven’t seen any come across but would suggest that would be the first step in trying to stop inauthentic bot activity.

lemmy doesn’t support reporting communities yet.
reports will go to community mods as well, and the mod can resolve the reports.
it’s recommended to message @lwreport@lemmy.world with details for anything that requires admin attention to ensure it gets through to the team.

Is this specific issue at least something that admins are aware of?

if the accounts you’re referring to (i don’t know which ones) are still up then we’re likely not aware of it. we are aware of spam accounts and ban them from time to time as we become aware of them, but they can easily slip through the cracks as well.

These are all communities made by or moderated by elefant or 8tr, both on lemmy.world. There’s a new community or two every day, then after a couple weeks they get a generic post from a different account. I’m not sure exactly what rule they’re breaking, but it does seem to be coordinated and in bad faith.
