I asked a similar question a month ago and it seems like reports go everywhere. I guess it makes sense when instances have different rules and communities might as well

omg I love your instance name. (But I hate that font :O)
But actually I think I did see that post, and the responses in it were probably part of what was bouncing around my brain that led me to ask this post. Because my main curiosity was less around who reports go to (I asked that to make sure I hadn't missed something, more than for any other reason), but around what happens when reports are actioned by one of those groups, but not others.
What about the font do you dislike?
And I get what you are saying. I'm not too sure.
Monospaced fonts outside of my IDE? Ugly, awkward to read, and just weird.
Maybe it's different on other instances, but here on feddit a report gets "closed" as soon as someone resolves it. Doesn't matter who did it. So if a comment on my community gets reported both I and the admin see that, and depending on who's faster one of us can either delete the reported content or simply mark it as read. In both cases it's no longer pending. The reports work like an inbox, so if I really wanted to I could double check resolved reports and delete them manually afterwards. Never saw the need to do that though. Im sure the other way around is possible as well.
Damn that's very disappointing. It makes sense in some cases—if the local instance admin removes it, no reason for the community mod to ever see it. But if, say, a beehaw admin removes it after a bee reports it, a lemmy.world should still get to see the content in their queue to decide if they want to remove it, too.
AFAIK the inbox analogy that the previous user wrote applies on an instance level, so in your example the LW admin would still see it (assuming it was against a LW user or something in one of their communities, I believe).
The "mark report as resolved" option doesn't federate to other instances, if that makes sense. It'll mark it as resolved for that whole instance (so a community mod won't see the report anymore once an admin from that instance marks it as resolved and vice versa), but not other instances.
At least, that's as far as I understand it, don't quote me on that 😅
Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification! That's much less of a problem then. (Though still not ideal, since an instance admin might approve something for not violating instance rules, while it does violate specific community rules.)
How does moderation work on Lemmy?
They just ban piracy and delete random posts, that's about it.
