Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Keeping bots and AI-generated content off Lemmy (an open-source, federated social media platform) can be a challenge, but here are some effective strategies:
Enable CAPTCHA Verification: Require users to solve CAPTCHAs during account creation and posting. This helps filter out basic bots.
User Verification: Consider account age or karma-based posting restrictions. New users could be limited until they engage authentically.
Moderation Tools: Use Lemmy’s moderation features to block and report suspicious users. Regularly update blocklists.
Rate Limiting & Throttling: Limit post and comment frequency for new or unverified users. This makes spammy behavior harder.
AI Detection Tools: Implement tools that analyze post content for AI-generated patterns. Some models can flag or reject obvious bot posts.
Community Guidelines & Reporting: Establish clear rules against AI spam and encourage users to report suspicious content.
Manual Approvals: For smaller communities, manually approving new members or first posts can be effective.
Federation Controls: Choose which instances to federate with. Blocking or limiting interactions with known spammy instances helps.
Machine Learning Models: Deploy spam-detection models that can analyze behavior and content patterns over time.
Regular Audits: Periodically review community activity for trends and emerging threats.
Do you run a Lemmy instance, or are you just looking to keep your community clean from AI-generated spam?
