Is it possible to see pending flags on a post?

Question

I'm pretty active on a niche tag on Stack Overflow but we get a lot of completely useless questions that are unanswerable or obvious duplicates of questions either elsewhere or in the tag.

Normally, I flag these as either VLQ or duplicate, but it's difficult to get these questions closed as there are very few active users on the tag.

I was wondering if there's any way of seeing any pending flags on questions (and answers I guess) to see if others are also flagging the post as VLQ or a duplicate?

Not live¹ but you could use SEDE to find posts with pendingflags for a tag with this query:

select pf.postid as [Post Link]
     , pf.creationdate
     , ft.Name
     , ft.description
from pendingflags  pf
inner join posts p on p.id =pf.postid
inner join posts q on q.id = p.id or q.id = p.parentid
inner join posttags pt on pt.postid = q.id
inner join tags t on t.id = pt.tagid
inner join flagtypes ft on pf.flagtypeid = ft.id
where t.tagname = ##tag:string##
order by pf.creationdate 

To get help with flagging you could leave cv-pls requests in some chatrooms. Here on meta the Tavern or on SO the SO Close voters room are watched for such request and if the members agree they will follow your vote.
