That doesn't mean anything... I know a couple dead MMOs that are basically exclusively inhabited by spam bots now. What I think is a much more telling sign for the state of Lemmy is the number of communities that have already been abandoned by all their mods and don't find new ones.

You can thank people who just created a bunch of communities without thinking about how they would manage them long term. @sabbah@lemmy.world comes to mind
Lol I get the sentiment. I know Mastodon has some sort of shared ban list system that I hope Lemmy adopts. That way there can be a master list of spam domains that instances can subscribe to. Would be a much less of a headache to instance owners then doing it all themselves.
Same here to be honest.
However, I'm surprised that szmer.info is still running 18.1, is the instance unmanaged?
Spammers go for low hanging fruits and since the platform offers a fully functional API i guess we’re relatively low.
