After the bot attacks I’ve cleaned up and implemented some additional measures thanks to some helpful users, but I’d also like to monitor the situation in case someone from my server decides to go on a spam rampage…

Is there a way to:

  1. Easily get a list of comments from all my users locally and across the 'verse?
  2. If I purge/ban these users, is there a protocol for letting other Lemmy admins know? I assume I have no power to delete things from their instances (just my copy of their instance?)

    1. I don’t think there’s an user friendly way, you’d probably need to call the API or read the db.
    2. AFAIK deletes are federated. Not sure if there’s a flow which doesn’t federated them (of course accessing the DB directly won’t)

      I see, occasionally I get reports from local users about something elsewhere from a ‘foreign’ user… which I can then delete. I assume that’s not deleting from their server?

      For example I get a report from a local user about a lemmy.ml user with a post in lemmy.world
