I’m a little confused as to how the “report” function works. I’m an instance admin, but if I report a post on another instance, that report shows up in MY report queue. If I mark that report as “resolved” to get rid of the notification count, does it resolve it on the home instance?

    I got this comment on another thread that answers my question:

    @Gaywallet@beehaw.org

    The following people get a report when content is reported:

    The community of the reported content

    The instance administrator for the community of the reported content

    The instance administrator for the person who reported the content

    The instance administrator for the person who was reported

    This makes my queue a mess at times, especially because federation is not >instant and many apps cache content. I’ve had people on Beehaw report >content on Beehaw that was already removed hours ago. When someone spams >a bunch of content across communities on the fediverse (such as today >with a prolific spammer) we can sometimes have dozens of reports for the >same user because of all the reports generated above.

      The queue all being the same is also really bothersome.

      I want my communities to show the report until I (or someone from my mod team) deals with it. But when an instance admin marks it resolved, it disappears from my queue.
