When spams, Scams, etc., are reported from a different instance, is the users instance notified and the community instance notified?

When I hit report, I just get a notification on my own instance to action. Wondering if reports go beyond that, and notify the community, and the user instance?
I just reported a spam post on your (.ml) instance and it just sat there spinning its wheel. I got bored and went back to my instance home (.world).
Have no idea if anything happened!
Your spam report about this post did arrive in the report queue here at lemmy.ml, and I (a lemmy.ml admin) then deleted the post. (Thanks for flagging it!)
Unfortunately, the post removal doesn't appear to have federated (yet?) to your instance - the post is still here. I believe this is an intermittent failure mode.
I'm now deleting this post, per asklemmy rule 3 (use !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml for support questions).
Why are you browsing on a different instance? Stay on lemmy.world and search for communities from there. You should be able to see like http://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml. Note that you are on your instance but the @ tells it to grab the community from the other.
I was. I did it from my instance. Just span its wheels. (I was just acknowledging that it was 'across instances' I was on mine, reading a spam post on .ml
(I'm still new at this so I might not be clear in what I mean. But I didnt "log into" your instance, other than I had subscribed to a sub on your server)
