Hoping someone can help here.

WomensStuff was migrated from my instance using piefed migration tools some months ago, however I still get all the reports for their community even though I am not the instance admin, the post/commenter is not from my instance, and the reporter is not on my instance.

Example:

I have reached out to @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone and then @ada@piefed.blahaj.zone but got no response.

Whilst WomensStuff has a logical reason, they were migrated from lazysoci.al, I am also receiving the odd report for other communities not associated with us, but every time the reporter is a piefed user. Coincidence maybe?

Another example:

I'm thinking this is a piefed issue, has anyone else had the same problem?

This is happening because at least one user from your instance is a moderator for the community. This issue has been reported previously to us in matrix. Here is the relevant issue on codeberg. I have previously tried to figure out what is causing this to happen to no avail. It seems like whenever PieFed tries to send a report to a moderator, lemmy will also send it to the admins on that instance.

Maybe if @rimu@piefed.social gets a chance to dig into this some more, he can figure out how to prevent the reports from escalating to admins when they should stay at the mod level.

Thanks @wjs018@piefed.wjs018.xyz for the explanation. At least its a known issue, I'll put up with it for now.
