I don't think there's a LemmyNSFW Meta to talk about possible issues in the instance, but lately I've noticed a few - possibly bot? - accounts spamming communities. They both have jumbled usernames and have created around a dozen communities each.

I don't necessarily understand what's the point, or what they could gain from this, but thought it'd be worth to at least point out to the mod coordination.

The accounts are @0D5C3D7BD3F7D503 and @0FAC249F80845370

Mildly unrelated but I've also noticed @Think316 has dozen of communities dedicated to different brazilian celebrities, but in this case I think they're just not very bright.

It really seems like they're the community squatter type. Just looking at the one user of the two examples you gave that isn't banned already, all the communities are similar permutations of the same thing - Korea, Korean, Koreans, etc.. The other banned user was similar in the communities they made but it was for hentai.

Until they start up with whatever scam or commercial spam they intend to post (and they definitely will eventually) it will be difficult to tell actual motive.
