Is there something like automatic moderation on Fediverse? How does it work? (lemmy.ml)

I'm preparing a presentation on how to implement an automated moderation of content on social media. I wanted to talk a bit on how this is done by small forums and Fediverse instances came as an obvious focus of study for me. Is it all done by hand by human moderators, or are there any tools that can filter out the obvious violations of instance's rules? I'm thinking mostly about images, are those filtered for nudity/violence?

I believe there's an automated filter used by some of the biggest instances to detect and nuke child abuse stuff before a human has to see it

Everything else is human moderation though AFAIK
