As far as I know, I'm the only mod at the moment. I think the kbin admin would be the only person you could go to if I'm not doing my job, but hopefully that won't be necessary, because I'm trying to continue deleting the spam.
Current situation:
I check at least once a day (and usually more often) for spam, and I permaban the accounts and delete the posts. But, the spammers are just creating new accounts, so there are always posts that are up for a bit before I remove them
Possible technical issues:
You should not see any of the spam posts at the moment. From what I'm seeing, I've deleted them all. Maybe this is an issue with federation. How many spam links are you currently seeing?
I have not seen any reports from any users so far. Again, perhaps a federation thing.
Future:
I'm happy to add another mod if someone wants to do it. Removing the posts every day is tedious. If someone knows a sensible way of automating the process so the posts are removed faster, all the better.
If there are spam issues for users from other instances but not for kbin users, I can try posting on another meta-type magazine/community for advice. I don't know enough to fix an issue like that at the moment.
From lemm.ee there appear to be a number of spam posts still visible, though the authors show as having been banned. I would assume its likely the same for lemmy broadly
Thanks for the info. I won't be able to look into this further tonight, but I'll ask tomorrow about how to make the deletions propagate.
Or, if anyone reading this already knows, then I'm all ears.
Glad I could help, even if I don't have a solution. If you need someone on lemmy to check if they're still visible feel free to reply to me again or message me on matrix and I'll take a look
Good luck, wish I knew how to fix the problem
