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?

    For now I blocked the /c/random@kbin.social because I was sick of it. I originally added kbin.social to my ublock origin filter list. But then I’d get whole pages of blank lines from so much spam.
