Default "Breaks Community Rules" report button results in many vague reports · Issue #1899 · aeharding/voyager
I often get reports with just “Breaks Community Rules” and no additional context. This is because Voyager automatically sets the mandatory report reason as “Breaks Community Rules” without actually adding a reason. However, it's often not clear why a post would break those rules and which rule would be broken.
If the API provided rules as an array rather than a single big chunk of text then frontends could present a list to users when reporting.
Yes that would be the best solution imo. However, that would require changes to Lemmy (which usually take a while). Did you see the proposals in the linked issue?
Yeah. The problem with using a regex is the formatting of the rules would need to be very consistent. There'd be no way to make it reliable.
