MODERATORS
Sounds like a flood control for community creation would be appropriate.
It used to be in the early days instances would vet users at signup. Is there no mechanism for an instance admin to do the same for the creation of a community? They just can't be vetted before creation?
Piefed already disables community creation for out of the box accounts for a few days at least. Lemmy doesn't. That's the problem.
Also many of these spammers just spam on other communities rather than doing it on their own.
