1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I mean, if no one is reporting it, they likely aren't sitting around checking posts every 15 min. Ones that stay up may just be missed; they aren't notified about any posts through Lemmy simply by being a mod, so unless they see the post themselves, it may just get missed. I missed a post on a sub I mod for 2 weeks; not that it didn't fit the community, it just didn't come up in the feed and I don't always go manually check the sub feed.
Not that deep or dire
Mods have a finite amount of time.
There are two things that you can do:
If a post violates community rules, you can report it, which will help bring it to their attention more-quickly.
You could volunteer to moderate a community that you feel is undermoderated, which will help decrease the load on the existing moderators.

I report some posts and they never get a mod action.

Would you trust a 1 week account to moderate any community? Simply that is not something feasible for me.

I would. Modlogs are public

...and hardly ever written.
Give it time, participate in a community you like, gain their trust, volunteer to mod, and wait for the opportunity to ~~strike~~ help out.
I don't remove anything unless someone asks.
There may be a situation at some point where something NEEDS to be removed ASAP, despite a lack of reports, but I haven't encountered one yet. (In the tiny corner of the fediverse that I can do so)
I share your concern and considered posting the same question.
Lemmy moderation tools are a bit wonky at times. But a vast majority of communities do actually moderate.
I find more violations scrolling than I do from the reports. There should probably be a lot more of them. This is also why there's a big ideological divide on removals because people are less likely to report something they agree with.
