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.

Can you explain what' Agora is?

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:

  1. Post a discussion thread
  2. After discussion, post a vote thread
  3. After thread timeout, admins act on the decision

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.
