I keep getting follows on mastodon lately that’s just spam. It’s women’s accounts that have suggestive photos and usually links to OnlyFans. I even got one on two different accounts overnight.
Is anyone else seeing this?

This year I’ve gotten about four that match what you describe. Before that I got maybe ten that were supposed to look like just normal people. Some of them often followed eachother.
They have all been on mastodon.social, which is what I first noticed and found weird. Personally I’m on a small and niche server being run by a dude in his garage. I barely have any followers and don’t post much. There’s not many ways to just randomly discover me on Mastodon.
This is me almost to a tee, which is why it’s easy to spot the spam. (Aside from, y’know the scantily clad pic and link to OnlyFans.) If I get a new follower, it’s usually someone who starred or boosted something I posted, not some random follow out of the blue.
