There have been users spamming CSAM content in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world causing it to federate to other instances. If your instance is subscribed to this community, you should take action to rectify it immediately. I recommend performing a hard delete via command line on the server.
I deleted every image from the past 24 hours personally, using the following command:
sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec rm {} \;
Sadly until the two Lemmy devs work on improving moderation/admin level solutions, Lemmy as a piece of software is going to be vulnerable to this sort of thing.
I would imagine running a Lemmy instance is a bit like a game of whack-a-mole at the moment.
The 2 devs could do more but it also is FOSS, anyone of us could step up and write a tool or 2 to help
There is one being developed atm and legality might be an issue.

Yikes I didn’t realize how archaic the US laws really were.
Good luck to all the hosters out there dealing with this shit
