This is what I see when I go to the main page.

Sometimes the page automatically redirects to a picture saying "I r@$*d a kid", and other times it redirects to a malicious page (blocked by the rules of my adblocker).

What is happening?

Lemmy.world admin account got compromised, and some trolling was installed

Oof. Glad the others admins are working on it

Aw, you didn't get lemonparty? That was a little nostalgic... lol

Sidebar pic is still a super old school meme too.

Impressive that they pulled it back so quickly. I bet they are in a frantic panic for opsec

Indeed, I wonder how the admins credentials got leaked.

One of the mod's accounts was breached. Just some trolls hired by /u/spez (not actually) to take out the fediverse. Should be fixed pretty soon. I am no longer being redirected when I go there.

Same, glad I was not being redirected anymore.
