Lately, I’ve recognized many posts from very new accounts here, usually younger than a day. They post a couple of news articles and are never to be seen again.
I’ve checked this communitiy’s modlog and many new accounts get banned relatively quickly. Their behaviour is eerily similar, even their profile pictures have similar styles, so it seems to be the same origin.

Out of curiosity, is there some lore I missed?

More seriously, I think we users in this community maybe should be more conscious about this and stop interacting with posts from these profiles.

Dunno if my post makes any sense, it’s just something weird I noticed and wanted to say something about.

    Really would like a client side block on seeing any posts from accounts older than a certain number of days.

    Use Voyager app or Tesseract if you like, they have filters you can set. Lemmy devs can’t or won’t do anything about it for now. Maybe next update afaik .

    What I do is not engage with new accounts unless they comment.

      I do use Voyager but all you get is a tag that it’s a new account and not a filter on all accounts under a certain age.

      Even just a filter for all accounts less than 2 days old would be enough to get rid of the spam accounts that get deleted.

      I use summit and you can set it up to show how old an account is ( it’s displayed prominently besides the username ), if it’s younger than 30 days.

          Coming from reddit, i continued using Sync. When the dev went MIA again lately, i tried lots of clients and summit really stood out.

          Imo it’s the client that uses all of lemmy’s available functions to full extent and enhances the mobile experience with lots of cool features of its own.
