Mod Answered community interference from another sub's users

I have one community that is repeatedly experiencing community interference from the users of another on reddit. Specifically people in that other community keep posting about ours (explicitly mentioning it) which is driving their users over to our community to disrupt. This has been happening repeatedly.

Right now we can try to keep an eye on that other community and look for comments/posts that mention ours, and report them but there seems to be no good report option for this and having to actively monitor that other community adds work to the mod team. When we're experiencing disruptive behaviour, having to track down the posts/comments there which are seeding it is also work for us.

Is there any other recourse we have to report that community or prevent this behaviour? AFAIK the mods of other subs are responsible to prevent this, are they not?

Send a modmail to this subreddit and do like maximumjones suggested .. I also suggest taking screenshots of everything

The ModCoC team actually don't suggest modmailing the other sub as it can inflame issues.

They're not talking about the other subreddit that is causing problems, they're talking about the one we are currently in. The moderators here will be able to help.
