How do we report spam communities? (self.main)

Just today these are some communities created on this instance:

https://sh.itjust.works/c/tutoiementunboaste https://sh.itjust.works/c/unrenewablesubpana https://sh.itjust.works/c/vegetarianprogramm https://sh.itjust.works/c/myelopetalplainnes https://sh.itjust.works/c/waylaidmegasses https://sh.itjust.works/c/expiateshottie https://sh.itjust.works/c/knackwurstsreearn https://sh.itjust.works/c/sculptedsixteenpen https://sh.itjust.works/c/anelesunimitablene https://sh.itjust.works/c/ebonistregenerativ https://sh.itjust.works/c/extensionlessvulca

Is there any way to report this spamming? In particular is there any way to report this spamming that doesn't require creating a separate account on a separate system?

Good question.
You can't "report it" from Lemmy because there's not even a post there to report.
You can probably DM @[email protected] directly within Lemmy.

My guess is at some point, we'll probably have to decide whether to require approval for creating a community instead of allowing everything and purging the garbage. Idk.

A rate limit per day might knock down the spam without needing pre-approval.

It's come to my attention that some lemmings feel the need to create and test multiple communities to determine which ones succeed - no response when I pointed out they could do so on an instance they created
