Hi,
I have a tiny newsfeed community here on SDF. We got a spam comment by another user registered on the instance. Looking at the account, all it does is link spam. Is there a process to flagging the account for moderation at the instance level, rather than flagging to block in individual communities?
Account in question: lemmy.sdf.org/u/dordle12
huh, just wondering but does reporting not get sent to the moderators and admins at sdf?
this might be a stupid question as you might’ve done it already;
not sure how their moderation system works but my initial assumption (which could be incorrect) is that:
Thank you for the tips.
I’m a moderator on the community where I encountered the spambot account, and already banned it there. My question is wondering how I can report the user upstream to the instance admins. I’m not very familiar with Lemmy, I see that there’s a modlog, so perhaps the SDF admins would need to monitor it and act based on the user getting banned from one of their communities?
no worries👍
My question is wondering how I can report the user upstream to the instance admins.
within Lemmy, one way is to direct message the admins by checking the instance’s main site sidebar (as it typically lists all mods and admins of the instance)
for P.d I typically chat with fellow mods and admins in our Discord/Matrix channels, not sure about sdf but I’d recommend checking if they also have a Discord/Matrix Chat channels as well
Admins see the same reports that mods do, so if the mods leave a report unresolved then it will remain unresolved for admins as well. But with that said, I don’t know who manages sdf.org’s sole admin account or how often—if ever—reports are reviewed by it.

The instance admins have proven pretty difficult to get a hold of, even when the entire thing breaks. I doubt this is a priority.
