Asking because I get reports I make, it would seem rather silly to me if I can’t report misconduct because I’m on my own instance.
Edit: so the answer is yes, another user kindly helped me verify by reporting my test post in the community on my instance. It looks like it sends the report to the relevant people just also sends it to my local admin account for whatever reason lol.
To your edit:
It seems like the link was sucking in the strikethrough characters. If I had made a proper link [text](url) then it would have probably worked fine.
