I don't really have any reason to doubt you, because I am not involved in admining any Lemmy isntance. But on the other hand, in my casual use of Lemmy.world I have yet to encounter any spam at all. So either the mods there are really incredible, or the spam problem isnt so bad

Doesn't lemmy.world require a captcha which some lemmy's don't have. I don't think even 0.18 has captcha support yet.

  But it federates with most other Lemmys, so there's theoretically plenty of user interactions on there that haven't been verified by captcha.

    Yeah, I guess they would have to lock down comments from the outside which kind of breaks the whole point

> I have yet to encounter any spam at all The spam bots that signed up did not start posting on my instance yet at the moment when I discovered them. Probably they are stockpiling accounts for later use.
