MOD NOTE: can you please DM me if there's issues?

[cluckn@lemmy.world]

Maybe they meant numerically mean comments.

[schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de]

From what I read (ie take with a grain of salt): reports are sent from the instance of the reporting user to the instance of the community and that of the user who wrote the reported comment. So those three instances know about them. They are not federated to other instances that have community moderators, so if you're on a different instance than the community, you won't see reports sent by remote users about other remote users.

That was an average pun.

Thanks mate can you ELI5?

[dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

You can always add your piefed account as a moderator of Lemmy Be Wholesome so you get the reports on that account too?

[miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Balanced response.

[schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de]

Suppose I (on discuss.tchncs.de) report something written by a user on lemmy.zip to this community (on lemmy.world).

Three instances will store this report in their database:

• discuss.tchncs.de
• lemmy.zip
• lemmy.world

Your account I am replying to is on none of these instances, so it has no way of seeing those reports.

[ladybutterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone]

I am already mate but I didn't get notifications

[dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

oh no! Sorry, I should have known you would have tried that already

[sergio@lemmy.world]

Median is the better metric, since we're talking about outliers.
