I just checked, and there's no posts including anything even remotely child related going back days on this community. Did you post in the wrong spot?
Edit: apparently, asking a question to make sure things get reported to the right place is a bad idea.
However, as I was just informed, my instance had already removed it from their side of things, though it remains up on others.
sh.itjust.works removed it locally for their instance hence why you dont see it. Hasnt been removed in the source instance though yet so instances that didnt remove it locally still have it
I just made a post about this at the same time as Philo.

This is fucking gross. I get that trolls are going to try to fuck with subs, but can we please place a limit on brand new accounts or possibly require posts from this hosting site Mintboard to get vetted by a human? I also sent a message to a mod at lemm.ee. That's the home instance of the two accounts.

For the record, admins have been screaming for more moderation capability but lemmy devs (all two of them) have been focusing on things that let lemmy stay online at all given the platform wasn't ready for the massive user growth.
If you have the ability to build these features, I'm sure they will be added with gratitude. Otherwise, development is happening as fast as it can. The devs have applied for sponsorship to allow a third dev to help, but this hasn't been awarded yet.
Some admins have built tools that help, but given there are 1,000 instances, it's easy to belong to an instance without such tools. There's also a complex setup of which posts are removed from where when a moderator removes something when they are on a different instance.
I really appreciate this insight. I know there's a lot I don't know. Do you have any specific advice on how I can help? I'm not really a software developer, but I know Python. Is there any way I can volunteer or donate to help make these features come to fruition?

Yeah that shit was shocking. First I've seen it on Lemmy. Reported with "child" because I couldn't remember the acronym
Posts have been removed and user has been banned. Also submitted the Mintboard stuff to admins and myself/other mods have recommended for it to be added to the blacklist of banned sites.
1 is up still I'm pretty sure I really don't want to check tbh
They should be removed.
What is the complete correct response for users to carry out if they spot CP?
Is just the report button on the post good enough? Is there some kind of higher level report for bigger-than-just-one-instance shit that threatens Lemmy as a whole? Should we call the FBI or some shit?
I haven't come across any here, but if I do, I'd like to be able to aid in swift action against not only the post/account in question, but against the actual person running it.
I have a hunch. Come to !casualconversation@lemmy.world and report something. I'm going to see if the reporting feature is working.
Reports are typically fine. Theres a couple issues with 0.18 but the amount of people reporting would make up for that. Removed it locally from my instance since some reports came to me fine
I assume it will be snapped soon by lemm.ee or world but its around midnight in the US right now and early morning in europe
It should be noted one of the oversights being worked on right now is that people from one instance who make reports can only have those reports answered in that instance. An admin discovered this and so, being on lemm.ee, the admin asked us to make lemmy world alts. Thus @KaneLivesInDeath@lemmy.world is me.
I just reported one over there per your request.
Can confirm it works.
thank fuck i decided to wait before going on lemmy
