MODERATORS
 

I recently noticed that Piefed handles cross instance reports better than Lemmy, i.e. if you moderate a remote community and a Piefed user reports someone from yet another instance, the report actually seems to reach you.

This is a long, long standing issue on Lemmy that makes moderating remote communities practically useless, as you only get reports from or about users on your own instance but not others.

Now, the strage thing with Piefed doing it better is that apparently all instance admins can see these reports (at least on Lemmy), which confused us a lot as we are getting reports that seem entirely unrelated to our instance and personal moderation responsibilities.

Since there are currently so few Piefed users, we don't have a lot of examples, but it seems like if a Piefed user is making a report, and there is any user from our instance moderating that remote community, all of our instance admins get to see that report.

It seems like this would classify as a bug or at least an unintended incompatibility between Piefed and Lemmy?
