I don't know why, but many new users post several links and then delete their accounts after a couple of hours. This is happening a lot and it's getting more frequent and uncomfortable. Are there any devs considering tagging noob accounts and or filtering new accounts posting in communties, or maybe there are other solutions? Thank you

Tesseract (t.lemmy.world) both badges and lets you filter new accounts. You can configure the number of a days an account is considered "new" from 1 to 30 days. Anything that's filtered will be shown as a stub/collapsed item in the feed.

In the upcoming release (delayed due to personal issues but in progress), you can completely hide content from new accounts (versus just collapsing it) among other filters.

Additionally, (in the upcoming release) it will automatically hide content from users less than a week old who have deleted their accounts. This feature is a direct response to this "hit it and quit it" nonsense from the accounts you're describing.

Great news, thanks! So it seems it's seriously being addressed via your server or is this on lemmy.world Any ETA for next release? I'll also check out the tesseract for now. Good luck on the personal matters.

Ed. just tried it out and many things like you said can be adjusted! good stuff.

I had a "2-3 weeks" ETA about 2 months ago for the initial beta release. Looks like that ship sailed. In the last few days I'm kind of getting back into the swing of development but I'm still behind and can't devote as much time to it as I'd like.

I think the last thing that's preventing a beta release is the settings importer is unfinished (had to be re-written). Once that's done, I can at least get the beta out for use. There's a few other cosmetic things I need to fix as well but it's still usable.

Tnx for the update. And new releases will be welcome ofcourse , when possibly as we all must navigate many ( other RL) stuff.
