It doesn’t seem like there’s an option to get email notifications when reports are submitted to a community that you moderate.
Do you just use the website and keep an eye on report notifications that way?
I’ve never gotten any, sorry.
I just happen to check the little notification thingy whenever I’m on Lemmy on desktop. I’m not always the quickest mod to respond, but whenever I’m the first to see it, I take care of it.
If one of the Lemmy apps were to add push notifications for reports, it would be much simpler.
I’m very close to releasing !lemmynade@lemm.ee for testing, and it has this! I know there’s a couple other apps out there that support this too. Mod resources are scarce right now, but us devs are hard at work to bring some great tools the table. I think this is one of the next big steps to seeing Lemmy thrive long-term. It’s only up from here!
Yeah this is what I’m waiting/hoping for - or at least email notifications but I guess that falls into the hands of the true devs.
I mostly use the desktop interface, so I’ll see if there are any reports in the upper right corner.
It’s not integrated into any of the apps I use, so I use a mobile browser. There’s a shield icon that appears next to the notification bell icon. It’s essentially another inbox that shows the reporter, reportee, post, community, and reason for reporting. I still have to manually click the post and decide what to do (ie, remove, ban, nothing), and then go back to the mod inbox and click a Resolved (like a “read”) button.
I just use the website, and make sure to log in at least twice a day to look for reports.
Additionally, I’m following the RSS of the communities that I moderate. If something potentially problematic is posted in one, I’ll see it with or without reports.
On the alexandrite interface there’s a reports button that shows all the reports etc.
for our admin team, we’re using a bot to message a matrix room when content is reported and reacting to the message when it’s been handled.
this could be done pretty much the same way on mod level, though this is certainly not easily accessible to everyone due to the hosting involved.
and all of this is only relevant if you even receive reports about content in the first place. if you moderate a community on another instance, tough luck unfortunately, as they currently do not federate.
edit: typos
Ah right on that’s a cool idea!
It would be great to have an RSS feed of reports in a community. This way it can be piped into external tools and notification mechanisms.
