You can report problematic posts or profiles by clicking their ⋯ button and selecting "Report".

Remember to include links to problematic posts in your report. This saves the moderators a LOT of time, and means the moderation will happen much more quickly and accurately.

If possible, select the option to anonymously tell the account holder's server too. They can shut down the account if necessary. (However, if their server is problematic too, it might be best not to use this option.)

@feditips I was looking to see if anyone was running an account for parenting tips and came across a hashtag that I didn't understand. When I hit it I found content that has alarmed me so much I considered leaving mastodon. I have no idea what to do about this. Is it something I can report? Honestly I don't think I could cope with having to view one of those images again. I reported the account I saw, but I'm not sure if it was to their instance or mine.
