I've never gotten any, sorry.
Same here, and considering I have seen plenty of posts that needed to be removed naturally on the bigger of the two communities I am a mod for, I have to question if people are not reporting or if the report thing is just broken.
People probably aren't reporting. AFAIK, reporting isn't anonymous and there are not pre-setup reasons for reporting. Functionally, it's the same as just DMing a moderator.
If a person can't submit an anonymous report by selecting the reason from a dropdown, thats too much effort for them and it's easier to just not report and assume a moderator will see the problem and eventually correct it.

That should be easy to test tho. Just ask someone you trust to report a random post in the community and see what happens - but maybe tell the other mods in the community first so they, too, know that it is just a test and not a real report.
Fair warning tho: at least DM'ing from one instance to another does not seem to work properly at the moment and it might be the same for reports, so it is possible that reports from users on the same instance as you go though, while others never reach the mods.
PS: If you need someone to conduct a test for you, I'd be willing to do it ;)
I just happen to check the little notification thingy whenever I'm on Lemmy on desktop. I'm not always the quickest mod to respond, but whenever I'm the first to see it, I take care of it.
If one of the Lemmy apps were to add push notifications for reports, it would be much simpler.
I’m very close to releasing !lemmynade@lemm.ee for testing, and it has this! I know there’s a couple other apps out there that support this too. Mod resources are scarce right now, but us devs are hard at work to bring some great tools the table. I think this is one of the next big steps to seeing Lemmy thrive long-term. It’s only up from here!
Yeah this is what I’m waiting/hoping for - or at least email notifications but I guess that falls into the hands of the true devs.
I mostly use the desktop interface, so I'll see if there are any reports in the upper right corner.
It’s not integrated into any of the apps I use, so I use a mobile browser. There’s a shield icon that appears next to the notification bell icon. It’s essentially another inbox that shows the reporter, reportee, post, community, and reason for reporting. I still have to manually click the post and decide what to do (ie, remove, ban, nothing), and then go back to the mod inbox and click a Resolved (like a “read”) button.
I just use the website, and make sure to log in at least twice a day to look for reports.
Additionally, I'm following the RSS of the communities that I moderate. If something potentially problematic is posted in one, I'll see it with or without reports.
On the alexandrite interface there's a reports button that shows all the reports etc.
for our admin team, we're using a bot to message a matrix room when content is reported and reacting to the message when it's been handled.
this could be done pretty much the same way on mod level, though this is certainly not easily accessible to everyone due to the hosting involved.
and all of this is only relevant if you even receive reports about content in the first place. if you moderate a community on another instance, tough luck unfortunately, as they currently do not federate.
edit: typos
Ah right on that’s a cool idea!
I'm on kbin, but same deal. Have to go to the website and check.
It would be great to have an RSS feed of reports in a community. This way it can be piped into external tools and notification mechanisms.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
