Is het possible to exclude a fediverse server to show up in the ‹ last created group › listing?
Or to even only show groups there from your network… which seems more logical to me.
Over 1300 groups of a.gu.pe are in our mobilizon database now.
While we never (NEVER) followed them of added them to our network.
New groups from them keep comming.
How is this possible? And how to stop it?
If you have such a volume, you have to work directly on the database.
Run a SQL query to delete actors where domain is « a.gup.pe ». it should delete all related records, like events, posts, comments, in cascade.
When doing so… How much risk is there to mess up the whole database?
And how can I prevent new records to enter form « a.gup.pe »?

Low, as the constraints are their to maintain integrity.
It must be done inside a transaction, with manual commit at the end if everything looks fine.
In any case, having a fresh backup is always a good practice.

There should be no way for an instance you have not subscribed to to write on your instance’s inbox. It looks like is it not working properly ; so it is a bug. In the meantime we investigate it and fix it, you can probably block the instance IP address on your firewall.
Thank you!
Much appreciated.
And we will try that.
