I’ve got a post in my community that was posted by mistake. This one:

https://lemmy.world/post/4989402

It was actually me that posted it from my Mastodon account.

I can’t see a way to delete or hide it from the community.

The kebab menu only has the following items:

  • Create report
  • Block user
  • Lock
  • Community pin

I’ve tried reporting the post and it appears on the report page, but I don’t seem to be able to do anything with it other than clicking “resolve report”.

    This is really cool, thanks for detailing that out for me. I’ve found something that might help when messing about with it. If you delete the Mastodon post it’s reflected on Lemmy and will be removed. You might still see it as the mod (will have a trash can next to it). Of course that doesn’t help when someone else does, but at least you can remove it for your particular case.

      Ah, thanks. Yes, deleting it in Mastodon did the trick. It’s still far from ideal having no way of hiding/deleting posts from Mastodon other than asking the OP to delete it. This seems like a bit of a gaping security/abuse/moderation hole, no? I’m guessing admins can still delete stuff?

        Absolutely agree, that could turn into a moderation nightmare if someone wanted to abuse it. Do you know if there’s an issue for this on GitHub?
