For couple of hours browsing New/All the feed is filled with spambots advertising porn on a very shady domains. Lemmy doesn’t seem to have option to report users so I’ve been just blocking them (there’s not THAT many to block after all) but that got me thinking what would be the best way to report spam accounts and how reporting posts actually work.

If I report a post on sopuli does the notification go to admins at spammers home instance since I don’t think sopuli admins can do much for individual users on other host? And if there’s any tools (existing or planned) which would help with situations like this?

    I, uh, happened to open one link in a private tab, and it looks like I landed on a misconfigured url shortener server page instead of actually being redirected or getting any drive by downloads.

    So I suppose I’m…safe?

      Ublock* caught the link for me.

      I blocked Random and reported one of the posts.
