Asking because I get reports I make, it would seem rather silly to me if I can’t report misconduct because I’m on my own instance.

Edit: so the answer is yes, another user kindly helped me verify by reporting my test post in the community on my instance. It looks like it sends the report to the relevant people just also sends it to my local admin account for whatever reason lol.

    You know, it’s surprisingly vague even in the official documentation.

    Let’s test it out. Create a post on your instance, and then make a comment on that post, and I’ll go report them both as “testing” and we’ll see if you get notified.

    Link them here so I can find them.

      You just described literally all of Lemmy’s documentation.

      I had to read the source code for Lemmy to find out what API endpoint to hit, how it worked, and what to expect on return for a script that I was writing. You need to do that for some documented API endpoints as well. Calling it “vague” is a nice way to put it.

    Can confirm that you get a notification as a mod. Had my first report today.

      From reports from users on another instance? I guess I’m just concerned because when I report content on another instance my admin account gets a report notification on my instance. Obviously I can’t do anything about content on other instances so I just want to make sure the right people are also getting my reports.

      Edit: ok another user just tried it on one of my posts, it looks like it works as expected, I just also get my own reports sent to my admin.
