    The post has been up for five hours. Has it been reported? And if so what are the mods doing?

    If you ask me the mods on Lemmy don’t help. Maybe the tools they have are shit?

      It has been reported, yes. I got the report because it was an aussie.zone user who reported it. As an admin, I can remove the post, but that will only remove it for aussie.zone users.

      For reports on communities on other instances, I rarely take action unless one of my users is causing issues or the post is spam/something super nasty.

        And, IMO, it’s inappropriate for an instance admin to remove a post for violating a community’s rules.

        As a reporter, I wish there were a way to direct where my reports go. The vast majority of the time I’m reporting something it’s because of either violating the community’s rules or because I think the reported content’s author’s instance admins should be aware. I very rarely think you should be seeing it or taking action.
