There's that weird place discussed by the other instance's admin here:
https://lemy.lol/post/17093789
It’s a small nitherlandian instance that automated posting of christian testimonies (30k+, basically a youtube crawler by keywords, updated hourly) in one community and others are filled with conspiralogical content. Maybe they had their place somewhere before?
Haven’t seen a direct bigotry at a quick glance (closing my eyes on muslims finding christian Jesus-posts), but it looks like spreading conspiracies and serving as an ad for a cult. Is that against our rules? They sometime showed in my feed too. And they are an outright spam entity having 30k posts for like 50 users.
I think that's either a sectarian indocrination or someone being very ill in the head.
I vouch for defederating them and maybe contacting them if they need personal support.
It's exactly what some of youtubers would do a write up about a year after.
Nah, the users aren't causing problems, the content isn't illegal, and there's no impact to our users unless someone opts in to view those posts.
Leave it. If they start spamming communities outside their instance, then consider defederation.
Also, this should probably go in The Agora, not here.
Can you explain what' Agora is?
https://sh.itjust.works/c/agora
It's the voting community of this instance. Users (or admins) post discussions on rule/policy changes like your post here, they're discussed for a while, then an admin posts a vote thread for sh.itjust.works users to vote whether we should accept the change. Your post should go there.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Basically it's a place for the community to discuss instance-wide changes like defederation or rule changes, and is named after the forum in ancient Greece. The process is:
This community is for general discussion about the instance, but most non-urgent actions need to go through the Agora first.
Thanks, I'd look into that.
