I don’t know why, but many new users post several links and then delete their accounts after a couple of hours. This is happening a lot and it’s getting more frequent and uncomfortable. Are there any devs considering tagging noob accounts and or filtering new accounts posting in communties, or maybe there are other solutions? Thank you
Lemmy has severe problems with community integrity. The more traction it gains, the more you’re going to see spam, bots, vote manipulation etc. There’s very little it offers to mitigate that.
Tesseract (t.lemmy.world) both badges and lets you filter new accounts. You can configure the number of a days an account is considered “new” from 1 to 30 days. Anything that’s filtered will be shown as a stub/collapsed item in the feed.
In the upcoming release (delayed due to personal issues but in progress), you can completely hide content from new accounts (versus just collapsing it) among other filters.
Additionally, (in the upcoming release) it will automatically hide content from users less than a week old who have deleted their accounts. This feature is a direct response to this “hit it and quit it” nonsense from the accounts you’re describing.
I have always been in favor of a probation period before allowing posting. I honestly don’t understand peoples need to post before experiencing the community.
Publicity crap? That was a problem on forums.
Maybe they’re just discovering that the regular form of Lemmy is terrible and the old.lemmy is currently broken. So not worth engaging with at all? I’m HATING being forced to use the regular version. The only upside is the posts actually expand when you click on them. Not being able to simply continuing to scroll downward is a pain in the ass.
