Perhaps this isn’t new, as I’ve only been on Lemmy for around 3 months, but up until this point I hadn’t noticed spam, advertising, scams, etc at all on Lemmy. However, within the last 2 days I’ve seen at least 3 examples of obvious spam posts, made by accounts clearly dedicated to that purpose. Has anyone else noticed this? And are there steps we could take to counter it (perhaps a report button)?

    I take care of 2 giant sublemmys and remove spam within 12-24 hours. I hope we could get more good moderators on board to be able to put in required community work.

      Giant? What number of uswrs/posts qualify a sub for giant label?

          Oh huh I guess I never actually looked at the number of subscribers.

            Just a note that I’ve de emphasized subscriber count, as its fairly useless considering the number of ppl who signup then never come back. Active users per month is pry the best indicator for popularity.
