All / Hot is flooded with these random posts that are just porn search terms. They are all brand new posts with no comments or upvotes.
I think it’s a spam bot, I had to block that community to keep it from taking over my feed
I also just blocked it

It’s not a community, Kbin’s Random is where all the content of the Fediverse that doesn’t belong to a community goes. So this is an issue of Kbin federating with a bad server (probably microblog), and this ending up in the Lemmy feed through Kbin’s microblogging integration.
There are several problems here. It’s possible that !Random shouldn’t be making it’s way to Lemmy at all (or possibly not even be federated), as it’s not interesting to its users; Kbin should probably block the servers hosting this; and Lemmy should have a sorting algorithm where random posts with no upvotes or comments don’t make it to the top.
Might be worth making @ernest aware of the kbin side of the issue, though it’s probably on his todo list already. :)
I mean, in the screenshot the posts are less than ten minutes old. Saying “completely unmoderated” is a bit harsh for that kind of timeframe.

I scrolled for minutes seeing those almost exclusively before giving up, I’d say it’s not an exaggeration.
Those are bots with malicious phishing links. Please don’t click on the links.
Asian street meat is the best
I need to know what this is
Typically Thai “girls”.
edit: By putting girls in quotes doesn’t mean that it’s all ladyboys.
Oh, i was hoping for some spicy chicken
How is someone benefitting from this activity? Are they sending affiliate links or something?
Likely links to compromised sites to install malware and build a bot net.
Block it
Looks like a bunch of bot accounts, kbin.social mods should be warned
