Could you go to lemmyfi.com from your browser and tell me if it works for you?

I tried it but it didn’t work for me. I’m the instance admin btw. This is on my own instance.

they might be. but they won’t be able to log in to break stuff.

No problem! Hopefully others that had this problem can fix their instance too. Since we don’t know when the spam accounts will become active and start posting or if that spam attack was just to mess with us.

You have to delete them from local_users and person tables. Be careful with person table to not delete entries from users outside your Instance. It worked for me and fixed the user count in my sidebar.

What worked for me is manually deleting those entries from the database through the console. Gotta delete it from the postgresql database if you don’t have any real user sign ups during the spam sign ups, you can just delete all entries after a certain point. That’s how I did it.

My modlog got spammed today by some script banning a lot of people for spam automatically. It’s getting wild. This was inevitable with the growth of Lemmy as a platform though.

Just keep an eye on the GitHub page if you want to stay updated at all times. Other than that just check up on your storage use from time to time. You can also set up a job to restart the server every once in a while but that’s not really necessary.

This applies to any website. by visiting the website you give them your IP. the only way to mitigate this is to use a VPN.

Very nice! I’ve only got one and I need a more sturdy table since it gets rattled apart by the printer.

Pixel 6a. I really like the pixels but when they are rooted.
