View submission: Diamond Hands on the Data 💎🙌📈
Honestly, based on the information we got in this post, it seems there were a lot of brand new users.
The best thing these small subs could do is use automod to remove any post from any account under a certain karma threshold or under a certain age and to auto remove any post with one of the meme stocks in it. Be super strict about it for a month until the new users get bored and that'll probably help you more than anything the admins can do for you.

This is exactly what we did when an (unrelated) scandal brought undesirable traffic to a sub I mod. We are a pretty low-traffic, but tight-knit community, and we just didn’t have the manpower to babysit the sub while current events raged on. Automod was a lifesaver in this respect. The people with unsavory intent got bored and we were able to moderate efficiently without burning out.
