I always worry that I accidentally press the report button. I wasn't sure if that's something I can actually do, or if I'd get some sort of confirmation message for reporting something?
When you press report, it pops up a little window thing where you can type the reason for reporting and then hit send or cancel. So if u hit report just click exit or click somewhere else on the page to get rid of it Eta: like so
Thank you! I'm always worried that I'll end up accidentally reporting something, this is very reassuring.
Incidentally, the mods have actually encouraged the reporting of, e.g., cute animal pics so they can see them, so it's not the end of the world even if you did.
Yeah, literally anything you think warrants looking at can be reported! You can't report accidentally, as demonstrated, but we'd rather people report more rather than less. People have reported things just because they wanted a sanity check on something not-in-public. Also if you ever want a name change on your main or any subaccounts it is strongly encouraged to report those posts so that they don't get lost.
