Comment on Can you create/moderate a community on a instance other than your own?

You can moderate communities on other instances, but you can’t create one yourself.

Grabbed a screenshot of the mod list of !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, for example, which shows a few different instances represented within the mod team.

Afaik reports are not federated yet, so mods from other instances won’t get report notifications, but otherwise the same tools are available for them. So possible, but limited.

  Reports federate, in a limited way. They federate to the instance the community is hosted on, the instance the reported user is hosted on, the instance the reporting user is hosted on (well technically, it doesn’t federate to the last one, as that is where it started). I don’t believe that a report will federate to a remote instance that doesn’t meet one of those criteria, even if it hosts a moderator for the community, but I’m not certain about this one.
  
  Either way, report resolutions don’t directly federate, so resolving a report doesn’t resolve it on the other instances. It looks like they federate, because post removal from a mod federates, and removing a post auto closes the report. However, a report that was spurious or a troll or whatever that isn’t going to be actioned, has to be manually closed down on each instance it federates to.

    That’s pretty much the issue with remote reports. In practical terms that means the vast majority of the reports are not delivered to the person moderating. For example I moderate /c/europe@feddit.org and I rarely get any reports from that community on my slrpnk.net account, and it is a popular community with lots of reports according to my co-moderator with a feddit.org account.
    
    Apparently there is a fix in the works for Lemmy 0.20/1.0 but that release is still a while out according to the devs.

  Post pinning is also pretty wonky.
