I had to block the whole !random@kbin.social community because it was so out of hand. I was blocking the users and reporting the posts, but there were just too many. I can always unblock the community later after the mods clean things up.

Not sure what kinds of tools Lemmy mods have to prevent this sort of thing because it seems really obnoxious for users of all federated instances and also for the mods themselves to keep up with it

Seems to be an area that needs developer attention, but probably lower priority than the DB and stability issues they've been addressing.

Yeah I'm not smart enough to do that at 4 am 😅 thanks for showing me that though.
