So yes. Use the report tool and downvote it to oblivion.
My instance doesn’t have downvotes, so reporting is the most effective remedy for everyone’s benefit

Before doing so, though, I wanted to ask if there was any formal policy or rule for the community that could help cut down on thr spam, and if so, what would be most useful for me to do when I see a spam post? That I’d, is the Report button the right tool, is there some other way to let moderators know?
Rule 7 as stated in the sidebar of this community: “No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.”
So yes. Use the report tool and downvote it to oblivion.

Sounds to me like the other effective remedy for you would be changing instances. Downvotes exist for a good reason and disabling them is harmful.

I fundamentally disagree with downvotes, so changing instances isn’t an option. Just report it. It helps everyone and it removes it from the Fediverse, not just pushes it to the bottom of a list by the arbitrary metric of popularity.

Even Sheogorath doesn’t want this stuff.
