Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

It's just too bad. They are spamming from so many different instances. I'm assuming ones with open registration turned on. So they can't ban in bulk. Also why is it just this community getting hit like this?
Admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com here and yeah i can confirm it's from instances with open registration. Also most of them are smaller instances that aren't that well maintained and will probably feel the consequence by being blocked by other instances....
And kbin.social 🤦
I'm glad I only have the 4 users lol easy to admin. Easy to maintain lol
12,363 and counting for us lol... it's stressful sometimes but i am super happy with our community. Most reports actually are about others content interestingly enough
I might just be really tired and feeling dense this morning, but what do you mean about kbin.social?
No offense to our brothers and sisters in the fediverse, but kbin.social surely has a lot of spam coming out... it's a very popular instance and that attracts a lot of dickheads.
That sucks to hear. Back when I migrated to the Fediverse, I chose Kbin just simply because the interface suited me better. Frustrating when aholes ruin a good thing.
(edit: might not be sole) Dev/moderator doesnt want a team but has some health issues presumably, so definitely can't manage it themselves. This is just the aftermath of a couple months of that
There is a team, not a sole dev.
I'm not saying everything is roses and rainbows, but this is FUD messaging being spread openly by the mbin dev team.
Damn, I'm just repeating what ive heard but its weird the whole team isn't doing as much moderating as one'd expect
Yeah honestly no idea regarding moderation. But the codebase is maintained by a team.
It's not just this community, or even just Lemmy... Mastodon and other Federation services all struggling with the same issue at the moment
Yeah I'm seeing that now. It just started here for me
It's a shitty situation that's causing mods and users alike a lot of frustration and might be a bit before it's sorted.
Unfortunately I think this is something that will need to be dealt with Federation wide before it's under control... But even then it'll still add a lot of extra ongoing work to the mods of instances and communities just to clean up anything that gets through
I agree. Its a systemic issue. I‘ve stepped up as a mod for !opensource@lemmy.ml to combat this. Feel free to step up in other communities to help meanwhile.
The solution will probably be reputation/timelimit based or maybe federating ip bans. Bans already federate I think. At least my instance has a ton of names on the banlist although I havent banned as many people.
Any reason why there is no tools for allowing a community to say restrict first post(s) to text only until they get a # of positive likes? Or ability to allow communities to require 1 comment on a specific topic until can post own?
it's not just this community getting hit.
it's mostly !asklemmy@lemmy.ml, !asklemmy@lemmy.world, !opensource@lemmy.ml and !selfhosted@lemmy.world, though some of the latest spam also started arriving in !warframe@dormi.zone
