Is your proposal related to a problem?
On Lemmy there is no way to control which entities you send reports for posts or comments to, you don't get a choice to send to or exclude from entities such as the community's moderation team, or other remote instances. This can cause problems because for communities created in bad faith the mods can intercept and resolve reports and even harass the person who did it. Similar story for malicious instances.
Describe the solution you'd like.
I think a good solution would be to create a form that allows you to select who to send the report to, this is already a feature on the platform Mastodon, when making a report there are options to choose whether or not to send a copy of the report to other instances.
Here's an example:
The big difference is that in Mastodon they don't have communities or any form of official groups, so the only moderators are instance wide moderators.
In my proposal we also include an option to exclude community moderators in addition to the admins of remote instances.
I made a mockup to show how this would look in Lemmy Pangora to give an idea of what I mean:
Describe alternatives you've considered.
Could have a separate report function for admins only but that seems very clunky and limiting, and also lead to reports being sent to admins that would be fine for community mods. Though these solutions aren't very good compared to just simply having control over reports as a user.
