Any reports you make are visible to the admins of your instance.
E.g. if you make a report, the community mods may choose to ignore it while your admins choose to remove it for everyone using their instance.
Everything you see on Lemmy is through the eyes of your instance, people of other instances may see different stuff. E.g. some instances censor certain slurs, but that doesn’t affect users outside that instance. (de)federations also dictates what comments you will see on a post.
But they do go to the community mods, even on a different instance? And if the community mods remove the content that removal federates?
I prefer to rely on the community mods to remove most ‘spam’ as it’s their role to decide what is spam in their community. (Obviously admins can/should remove illegal content etc)
Admins for the most part shouldn’t have to remove content on their copy of other instances communities.
It goes to the community mods too yeah. But when it comes to spam/scams that is being posted, admins (at least on programming.dev) will remove it immediately and not wait for community moderators. Spammers will usually spam multiple communities at once and only admins have the capability of banning users entirely from the site/their instance.
A few days ago a person created multiple accounts and spammed scat content across multiple communities. Moderators can’t effectively stop those kind of things.
Be diligent with reporting, and consider switching instance if your admins aren’t really active.
The reports go to the community mods not your instance admins though don’t they?
