How do I report a spam user or community?
So I just came across a community being used to solicit fake Amazon reviews. But I don't see a way to report this to the admins. Since the user in question moderates the community they are posting spam to, it seems like the report button will just go to them?

Edit: seems to be gone now, perhaps reporting one of the posts was enough. Not sure what that looks like on the admin interface.
You could directly contact the lemmy.world admins. Chief admin is @[email protected] , and there's a list of others on the about page in case they're too busy
Thanks, I'm just thinking there should be a button somewhere on the community or user profile. I'm guessing we are going to get a lot more of this crap as time goes on.
Looks like some sort of scam to me. Maybe the lemmy.world admins would want to know about it.
Yeah, it could also just be a complete scam to get PayPal info or something. I'm just surprised there isn't a "report community" or "report user" button.
Funny timing, I emailed support about that community/user this morning. I previously tried reporting one of their posts ("spam/scam") but didn't notice any results so I decided to try email.
You can report the comment and note what they are doing.
