Hey all! We recently had some mean comments in this community and the report notifications only went to my lemmyworld account which I only just logged into. I’ve posted in the help community, but if there’s issues again can you please DM me?
I’m sorry mean comments were up for so long, and thanks for reporting them. Stay wholesome!
From what I read (ie take with a grain of salt): reports are sent from the instance of the reporting user to the instance of the community and that of the user who wrote the reported comment. So those three instances know about them. They are not federated to other instances that have community moderators, so if you’re on a different instance than the community, you won’t see reports sent by remote users about other remote users.
Thanks mate can you ELI5?
Suppose I (on discuss.tchncs.de) report something written by a user on lemmy.zip to this community (on lemmy.world).
Three instances will store this report in their database:
- discuss.tchncs.de
- lemmy.zip
- lemmy.world
Your account I am replying to is on none of these instances, so it has no way of seeing those reports.
Great thanks for your help
Maybe they meant numerically mean comments.
That was an average pun.
Median is the better metric, since we’re talking about outliers.
You can always add your piefed account as a moderator of Lemmy Be Wholesome so you get the reports on that account too?
I am already mate but I didn’t get notifications
oh no! Sorry, I should have known you would have tried that already 😅
Haha np
