Community for the Feddit UK instance.
A place to log issues, and for the admins to communicate with everyone.
@[email protected] I looped you into another thread I found on http://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted. Another admin has discovered their user counts are going up massively due to spam users joining. They solved it by adding capta to the sign up process.
Since not much new content is happening here after this user influx. I’m going to assume it’s the same here and it’s an attack on Lemmy as a whole.
No worries made a comment in the other thread but I've enabled captcha and email verification
I don't know if this is possible but it might be worthwhile removing accounts that were created during this influx after 7 days if they have no user activity (posts or comments). It then removes the possibility of your instance being used as an attack vector against other instances which would probably get it defederated quite quickly.
