There are about 6 pages.dev domains spamming lemmy.world communities
The volume is definitely inorganic, and is across a wide range of communities
pages.dev is Cloudflare’s site hosting which can be used for free - there are likely many legitimate sites that use that domain, but the current flood is suspicious
The main culprit, @marcus_inferno@lemmy.world has been banned.
I see it’s mostly from the user marcus_inferno
It’s a clear pattern of missing the correct context of different communities
It seems to be happening again but this time with @lenny_marlane@lemmy.ml

Yes it’s ridiculous, some kind of botspam linking random articles to random-related communities.
“kids learn to cook at camp” -> cooking
“Taylor swift should not endorse a candidate” -> swift (programming)
“Cleveland guy remembers big fire”-> cleveland
And on and on and on
