Here are a few things off the top of my head.
Deleted accounts leave orphaned posts/comments, which still exist on the site but can be difficult for admins to find and remove: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5525
Private message reports don't go to all the right people: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4436
We should be getting some vote analytics in the future, which will be great. Lemmy seems to have a significant number of vote manipulation accounts that only exist to upvote/downvote in unison, but they are currently hard to find. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5669
I really should open an issue to improve the reports queue. It's tolerable if you mod an individual community or a smaller instance, but it is unusable as an admin on a really big instance like .world. There is no way to search or sort the reports. You can filter by posts or comments but then it only shows you 20 entries, which is a weird and unhelpful limitation. All reports have equal priority; there is no mechanism for users to flag reports that should be escalated to admins. And, if something is heavily reported, there is no way to batch resolve the reports after you address the issue.
I wonder, are you able to view these if you switch to "Chat" view?
the problem isn't being able to see them in the thread but that you can't open the user profile, so you don't see if there are any comments.
