+====How do you find a trustworthy instance?====
+Generally you can check the instance rules to see if the instance is well moderated, but some instances may have good rules, abut the admins and mods don't enforce them well.<br>
+One indicator for good moderation is a long blocklist of instances. You can see that under domain.tld/more.<br>
+You can see a list of instances that you definitely shouldn't join under [[FediBlock]]. These should be blocked by most instances.<br>
+====How do you report a post that violates the rules?====
+Click on the 3-dot-menu besides the post and select "report".<br>
+You'll be asked some questions. E.g. you can select other posts by the user that violate rules.<br>
+You can and usually should forward the report to the instance of the author of the toot you are reporting. <br>
+Moderators and admins then can delete the post(s) and/or block the user and/or ignore the report.
 ====Do Mastodon servers generally have the same technical features or are there relevant differences? If so, can I check this out before joining?====
