This dude posts a wildly racist meme of Michelle Obama. I report the post. Funnily enough, the racist post is posted by the mod of dankmemes, dankchristianmemes and some other shit hole.

Said mod then starts sending abusive transphobic messages to me. Try to report the user. Nothing happens when I hit the button.

Shit like this is why Lemmy isn't a viable alternative yet. We need to do better and be better.

Yup. Except the report button goes nowhere.

Try doing it via the browser instead of using the app and it should work!

Wouldn't the report just go to the moderator, who can disregard it?

To my understanding, admins gets all reports too. But that also means they’re getting hundreds of reports

Or more accurately, go to the mod in question who will turn around and pepper me with abuse.

That just sends it to the moderator of that community, which in some cases will be the same user (like OP) or users who behave like them. There really needs to be a "Report to Admin" function, for both users and communities.

It’s cause the app you are using is still being built
