We’ve seen a lot of spam come from lemmy.org and we have therefore defederated from their instance. For the moment they have open registrations which only require filling out a simple captcha to create an account which many people abuse.
The admin is active but rarely takes moderation actions, but I’ve sent a DM to them with our concerns. We’ll see how permanent this is.
If you go in your browser to lemmy.org and choose “local” you can see what you’re missing. It is not much. If you sort by new you will see why the admin made their decision.
Ohhhh, thank you! I don’t think I go to any of those instances. I was just a bit curious.
