How do I report a spam user or community? (self.support)

So I just came across a community being used to solicit fake Amazon reviews. But I don't see a way to report this to the admins. Since the user in question moderates the community they are posting spam to, it seems like the report button will just go to them?

Edit: seems to be gone now, perhaps reporting one of the posts was enough. Not sure what that looks like on the admin interface.

Looks like some sort of scam to me. Maybe the lemmy.world admins would want to know about it.

Yeah, it could also just be a complete scam to get PayPal info or something. I'm just surprised there isn't a "report community" or "report user" button.
