  I see, I didn’t know about that, thank you. May I ask: is the instance where the community is hosted that should do this, or the instance(s) of the subscribers?

  Please feel free to delete my post if it’s pointless!

    I’m not actually sure how that works. If LW defederates does it block all users from that instance from posting? I would guess “yes” in that I believe the instance the community is hosted on plays a role in tracking posts to that community. If you’re curious, I would definitely ask one of the dev communities.

    Will leave up for a little since I’m sure a lot of other people saw the barrage of spam from last night. Should be all cleaned up now.

    Also, I do believe that is a legit instance, so it’s not likely it’ll be defederated, they’re likely a victim of the spammers as much as we are here… they just need to delete those accounts and block those IPs.

      Absolutely, don’t take my post too literally as I’m not very acquainted with the Fediverse yet :)

      They are still running 18.1, I’m not sure how actively managed the instance is

        Ouch, that’s definitely way out of date and has several critical bugs in it that are unpatched.

        I brought the spam issue from that instance to the attention of the admins for LW, they’re going to take a look into it. Will keep an eye out for more spamming today.

        It is, to the point of developing it’s own deployment system to be able to run lemmy on bare metal in a way we see fit, as opposed to the unpredictable cycle and frustrating process of using the main packages.

      It’s a one way street, defederating from them means users here won’t see the spam posts, but the users there will see the rest of the posts.
