So how can we report to the admin of our instance another "problematic instance?
send a message to the admin(s)
Contact an admin of your "home" instance.
You can't. You should reach out to the mods/admins on the other instance.
You can compare it with e-mail.
When you get an angry mail from company B while you work at company A, there's not much somebody at company A can do about it, except blocking the mails from company B.
If it's a very problematic instance the admins can choose to block federation between their instance and the other instance.
The admins can see it all afaik (within their own instance), but usually its the mods acting on stuff (within a community), and the admin only steps in if the community mod/mods is/are dropping the ball.
Okay, that makes sense the more I think about it. That's what mods are for, ultimately.
