It's all of lemmy actually, not just here.
All of the fedi, even. I'm seeing this crop up on some mastodon instances.
They all come from the same instance, so I'm guessing that instance has little to no moderation and someone made a bunch of spambots there and they would've probably spammed all of lemmy.
It is not unusual for niche communities (forums, wikis, etc.) to get targeted by spammers. I think they expect to find less moderation or something.
Can't we just defederate from that instance?
We have been for a day.
ok cool, dunno what else can be done
