There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

Following communities from has gotten much better

Version 19.4 introduced automatic hashtag-ing (see https://lemmy.ml/post/16585416)

Posts get federated with a hashtag matching the community name.

The important bit is that comments to posts don't get the tags.

Which means you can follow the corresponding tag on mastodon and get a feed only of posts.

EG:

If you're starting a community, giving it a unique enough name could help prevent overlap too.
