    I guess it’s achievable with hosting you’re using (with nginx ip block list for example if you’re using it)

      What you’re looking for is functionality like fail2ban, but probably with a filter set to the HTTP endpoint for creating communities. Not sure if it will work, I haven’t really looked into the Lemmy code/architecture yet.

      If they’re using Cloudflare it can do this too. Even the free tier, you can have one monstrously long WAF rule to ban a bunch of IPs
