They go to nearly everyone.
If I on instance a report a post on instance b made by a user on instance c, all three instances' admins will receive the report, as well as the community on instance b.
It's kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.
Man, I really want Lemmy to succeed, but the more I learn about how things work behind the scenes the more I worry... Hopefully the developers can deal with these problems before/if there's another major influx of new users.
Mod tools are, I think, the biggest need. Lemmy as it stands as a product (sorry, using my software industry terms, I know us out here in the real-world find "product" a gross corporate buzzword and "project" is less gross) is in the Proof of Value (POV) phase. A lot of us got here and immediately started using it like it was ready for prime time because... Of the things that were alternatives to what we'd been using, it was the most ready for prime time.
I'm really hopeful for the future, but as it stands moderation tools are both too noisy, and too rudimentary
