For couple of hours browsing New/All the feed is filled with spambots advertising porn on a very shady domains. Lemmy doesn't seem to have option to report users so I've been just blocking them (there's not THAT many to block after all) but that got me thinking what would be the best way to report spam accounts and how reporting posts actually work.

If I report a post on sopuli does the notification go to admins at spammers home instance since I don't think sopuli admins can do much for individual users on other host? And if there's any tools (existing or planned) which would help with situations like this?

Well that's kind of backwards way of managing things. I absolutely assumed that generating report would go either to mods of the sublemmy or admins of the instance where content is hosted, since I don't think there's much any other mod/admin over other instances can do for the problem.

At least in the future I know not to generate reports for a content from another instances, it just takes a bit more effort to contact mods directly, but that's the sensible thing to do (and they're ones who actually can do anything about it).
