How does reporting work on Lemmy? If I report someone on another instance, do the mods from the community I report from get that report?
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.

If I were to venture a guess, it would be that if you receive excess reports for a particular user on your instance causing issues on other instances you can boot said user for being a nuisance stopping the problem at the source rather than just the impacted instances cleaning up the reported content with no way to stop the reoccurring problem short of blocking your entire instance.
