Maybe this is what’s implied or I’m just being silly; What is to stop a bad actor spinning up a Lemmy instance, creating a bunch of bot accounts with no restrictions, and spamming other instances? Would the only route of action be for the non spam instances to individually defederate the spam ones? Seems like that would be a bit of a cat and mouse situation. I’m not too familiar with the inner workings and tools that Lemmy has that would be useful in this situation

I think new communities are extremely heavy weighted in the trending section. I’ve not looked at the algorithm for it, but the 2 communities I made were on there immediately after creating them.

But the bugs are an essential part of any Bethesda game
