Asking because I get reports I make, it would seem rather silly to me if I can’t report misconduct because I’m on my own instance.
Can confirm that you get a notification as a mod. Had my first report today.
How does reporting work on Lemmy? If I report someone on another instance, do the mods from the community I report from get that report?

From reports from users on another instance? I guess I’m just concerned because when I report content on another instance my admin account gets a report notification on my instance. Obviously I can’t do anything about content on other instances so I just want to make sure the right people are also getting my reports.

I think the idea is that as an admin, you might also wish to know bad actors your users are exposed to to allow you to consider whether there are instances you want to block.

If I were to venture a guess, it would be that if you receive excess reports for a particular user on your instance causing issues on other instances you can boot said user for being a nuisance stopping the problem at the source rather than just the impacted instances cleaning up the reported content with no way to stop the reoccurring problem short of blocking your entire instance.

You know, it’s surprisingly vague even in the official documentation.
Let’s test it out. Create a post on your instance, and then make a comment on that post, and I’ll go report them both as “testing” and we’ll see if you get notified.

Here’s the comment, idk how to make the link instance agnostic though.

Reports sent! Also, put a ‘!’ in front of the link, like !lemmy.cloudaf.site/comment/454587

You just described literally all of Lemmy’s documentation.
I had to read the source code for Lemmy to find out what API endpoint to hit, how it worked, and what to expect on return for a script that I was writing. You need to do that for some documented API endpoints as well. Calling it “vague” is a nice way to put it.

I have no idea what reporting does. Not even if it is sent. I tried reporting some nudity content in a community, but it was broken en 2 apps, and took a very long time from the browser…

What do mean? On the standard lemmy site it should be the 3 dot menu, then the flag (aka, report) on any comment or post.
What took a long time for you?
