@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they're salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they're trying to "fuck your entire site up" but I imagine it's a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they're creating, LMAO.

The most annoying thing is that the "Trending Communities" section is filled with spam right now.

I think this does show an ~~inherent~~ current flaw with Lemmy. We need a way to report users through their profile. So far we can only report users when they comment, but this guy isn't commenting anywhere so there's no report button. Unless I'm missing something. :p

That’s not an “inherent flaw”. It’s a flaw that currently exists in Lemmy, but one that could be easily remedied with a patch that adds a “report” link to the profile. An inherent flaw would be one that is difficult or impossible to mitigate due to the concept of Lemmy.

Yup, fair enough, I'll edit it!

[–] HorseFD@lemm.ee 26 points 1 year ago

Also “trending communities” shouldn’t be the same thing as “new communities”.

[–] CupDock@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Yep, I can't find a report button for users or communities, only comments.

There is already a proposal on github to hard limit and/or rate limit the creation of communities.
