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”.

    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?

        No idea - this is something I’ve only just become aware of.
