Hey, so I'm on a different instance, and I hope it's not out of place for me to post here. I really like Mbin for its design and features, and I made this account specifically for interacting with LGBTQ+ posts.
Anyway, there are a few things I'd like to discuss, if that's okay.
First, I'd like to know if it's necessary for me to report posts if they've already been reported on Blahaj. Like, is it just a federation delay that causes the bad posts to still be visible for a while, or is my reporting necessary to get them removed?
I've noticed that the recent troll posts are coming from lemmy.today and eviltoast.org, and I'm wondering if these instances should maybe be considered for de-federation from Blahaj. It seems like one or two users are ban-evading by making new accounts on these two instances. Are there any legit users that would be affected by this de-federation?
Also, I wonder if I made a mistake by boosting a few threads recently. Like did I accidentally get the attention of these transphobes? Should I refrain from boosting?
Again, I hope it's okay for me to post this here.
You’re not using an account on Blahaj so not much of what you’re asking matters as you’re not affected. Your reports would go to your admin and whoever’s instance the posts are on.
Some reason you may still be able to see posts could be due to you using mbin. Not sure if mod reports and removals have been fixed to federate correctly honestly.
They do not yet:

To clarify, Mbin reports do make it to lemmy as of this PR, but lemmy moderator actions taken, such as removing comments, does not then make it back to Mbin. Not exactly the most clear situation to be in right now, but it's been iterative process to get all the systems correctly hooked up to the fediverse.
My post didn't make it to blahaj or fedia 🤔 that's not good... the other one after did, though
I don't understand. This account of mine is only used to interact with LGBTQ+ communities, mostly on Blahaj. Browsing Blahaj communities on Mbin, I do not see anything from instances Blahaj has de-federated. Isn't that how de-federation works?
No, they only apply if you are using an account on that instance. So only whoever fedia.io chooses not to federate with as that’s what you are using.
Oh, okay. I thought that de-federated instances couldn't interact at all, but I guess one-way interactions are still possible. Interesting. Thanks for the info.
