The moderation on Lemmy is pretty poor and there is no clear (at least to me) avenue to help or offer help. Reporting it is pointless.

So I agree. Lemmy cannot handle it at the moment. That does not give confidence of it being handled when it gets larger, and the spam / bots becoming more sophisticated.

I do appreciate however, that all platforms have to go through this learning process.

Join a larger instance. We rarely see spam on SJW anymore because we now have a bot that removes it automatically.

I see a lot of usernames from SJW so I think I might do that!

Just tried to create an account. Got error that it couldn't send me an email to verify. Login button spins and then does nothing. Resetting password is the same.

Not sure what went wrong but sh.itdoesnt.work

We have been experiencing problems with email verification in the past week. Apparently there is an issue with our email sender provider. Sorry about that.

Is this the account?

If so then it should be fixed. If not, please DM me the email address you are using to register.
