  • There was a post earlier today with an explainer on who is doing it: https://lemmy.ca/post/15935073

    I’m not sure why this particular instance was chosen, but from what I can tell the spammers are doing it for the memes anyways.

    The best you can do for now is to keep reporting them. What you can also do is see if there’s a pattern, such as one instance popping up more often than others. Chances are that instance has open signups or something, and lemmy.world (and everyone else) should defederate











  • Understandable ok, since it’s open source it should be fine just using theirs.

    Another reason I was thinking of self-hosting was so that I could upload larger files and really fill it up with content. Some competing services really lock down the features for free users and limit storage to the point where it’s not usable, so I thought self-hosting might be a way around that.

    In the meantime I’ll try with their one :)
