Report problematic instances (self.support)

Hi,

Where should I report problematic federated instances? I’ve seen an influx of trash/spam/advertising appearing in my “All” feed. I’d love to report them to admins so they can determine if they’re offending or not.

If I use the report button on a post, does it go to admins of lemmy world or to moderators of that particular community?

Hello!

If you use the report button, it goes directly to the mods of the community. It is not a given that they send it to the LW admins.

I suggest to block these communities, blocking instances is not yet possible. That being said, do you have a list of the instances?

Please note we're using a Alpha product. Lemmy is still in the early days of development. There are plans to block instances yourself so they don't appear in your feed, but don't expect them anytime soon. It is a busy time.

I did block the communities, but they were 70+ and took like an hour of my time. I guess blocking the user would’ve been faster, but hey, you learn something every day.

I don't know if you use iOS. But I just found out the Memmy app has a filter instance option. I don't know if it works, but maybe you can give it a try.

If you use Android maybe hit up your favourite developer with a feature request? Seems like the fastest option atm.

I am on iOS using Voyager. I will definitely make the feature request, but it still makes sense to report it to admins when applicable to improve the experience for everyone.

Agreed! You always can reach out to [email protected]. :)
