Hi all,

Like many people I’m new to Lemmy. Enjoying it so far.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in email phishing spam after signing up? Or is it merely a coincidence?

I stupidly used my main email and have gone from zero phishing and a few spam. In the 48 hours after signing up I’m getting 6-8 phishing emails a day…again could be a coincidence but would love to hear if any of the new sign ups have had a similar experience

    I think it’s coincidence. I used my main email address and have the same amount of junk, spam, scams, and phishing crap as usual.
