I started to see a good amount of posts that is posted in the wrong communities and kept, it’s like anyone can take any statement and post it in any community, because why not?
I would not be surprised currently if I had seen a apple posted in the bananas community.
Did moderators here give up or what is happening?
I mean, if no one is reporting it, they likely aren’t sitting around checking posts every 15 min. Ones that stay up may just be missed; they aren’t notified about any posts through Lemmy simply by being a mod, so unless they see the post themselves, it may just get missed. I missed a post on a sub I mod for 2 weeks; not that it didn’t fit the community, it just didn’t come up in the feed and I don’t always go manually check the sub feed.
Not that deep or dire
They usually hit the front page.

Even the current ask Lemmy community have posts that should be removed, but for a reason or another they didn’t.
Well actually looks like it’s one of the mods posting it, so that’s not likely to change I guess. I’d say to start your own similar community and mod it how you see fit. If that’s how they want to run it, there isn’t anything you can do about it. If the community doesn’t care about moderating content to that degree, what can you do besides demand they change to your image of what it should be?
Did you report it?
Not much we can do if a mod decides to do it…
Mods have a finite amount of time.
There are two things that you can do:
-
If a post violates community rules, you can report it, which will help bring it to their attention more-quickly.
-
You could volunteer to moderate a community that you feel is undermoderated, which will help decrease the load on the existing moderators.

I report some posts and they never get a mod action.

Would you trust a 1 week account to moderate any community? Simply that is not something feasible for me.

I would. Modlogs are public
Modlogs are public
…and hardly ever written.
Give it time, participate in a community you like, gain their trust, volunteer to mod, and wait for the opportunity to

I don’t remove anything unless someone asks.
There may be a situation at some point where something NEEDS to be removed ASAP, despite a lack of reports, but I haven’t encountered one yet. (In the tiny corner of the fediverse that I can do so)
Lemmy moderation tools are a bit wonky at times. But a vast majority of communities do actually moderate.
I share your concern and considered posting the same question.
I find more violations scrolling than I do from the reports. There should probably be a lot more of them. This is also why there’s a big ideological divide on removals because people are less likely to report something they agree with.
