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