Every now and then, Lemmy World sends me an automated DM saying there are unresolved reports in the moderator inbox for the communities I moderate. Every single time, the moderator inbox has not only not shown any indication that it has something in it, it hasn’t actually had anything in it.
Not in my app (Jerboa) and not on the website. Replies, mentions and actual DMs properly show up, and notify me. Mod reports don’t. You’re better off straight up messaging me than reporting posts in communities I serve since I’m always around and the report inbox is busted.
reports don’t federate in all cases.
currently, only accounts on the community instance get 100% report coverage, as they are sent only to the reporter’s instance, the reported user’s instance and the community instance currently. afaik this is supposed to get better with lemmy 1.0 eventually, but this is what we have to work with for now. resolving reports on another instance won’t resolve them on LW, unless you remove the associated post/comment. this should however not impact visibility when you do check on your LW account.
