It doesn’t seem like there’s an option to get email notifications when reports are submitted to a community that you moderate.
Do you just use the website and keep an eye on report notifications that way?

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 ;)
