Yeah, to me it seems like that would be helpful to someone who’s a moderator on that community or an instance admin, but I’ve seen it mentioned by several other people that anyone actively viewing the thread will see that notification, no matter their moderator status or lack thereof.
Perhaps it could be a bug with the Lemmy backend software?
(I just got the “Report created” notification while typing this reply, as well! Strange!)
If I understand correctly, it will just pop that up if a comment is reported in the thread you’re currently viewing, as Lemmy auto-refreshes everything going on in the thread you’re viewing.
Hello from inside an instance!
Linux Mint for desktops/laptops (Cinnamon if the hardware can handle it, MATE if it’s a bit long in the tooth), and Debian for servers.
I’ve used several distros (yes, even Arch btw) through the years but I just keep finding myself coming back to the Debian-based ones. I guess I just feel most at-home with the way it has things set up, or something.
Every last post here feels like it’s directly calling me out. I hate it, but I also love it.
