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 shred {} \;
Note: Your local jurisdiction may impose a duty to report or other obligations. Check with these, but always prioritize ensuring that the content does not continue to be served.
Update
Apparently the Lemmy Shitpost community is shut down as of now.
I nuked my personal instance because of this :(
Dealing with pictrs is just frustrating currently since there’s no tools for its database format and no frontend for the API. I half-expected this outcome but I hope it gets better in the future.

Pict-rs has been the single largest pain of self-hosting a tiny Lemmy instance. I really hope things improve. I like hosting it myself but I can’t do it as a second job, having to figure out my own hacks and workarounds just to keep it running and not serving up illegal crap.
