As the title says, I’m looking for some potential mods to help run this community.

If you are interested, are a current mod of the QDL Subreddit, etc., then drop a comment to this post explaining why you believe that you would be a good fit for mod.

      Some other AP platforms such as Kbin have many issues with federating reports and even bans / content removals. Some Lemmy instances don’t federate reports due to defederation and some don’t federate due to reasons that are still unknown. It’s even possible for the community’s host instance to not get any reports in some cases. It has happened before that after adding an alt, 80+ reports became visible that weren’t visible from any other instance.

      All in all, federation related to modding still feels really spotty and I often encounter weird problems, such as vanishing / inconsistent modlogs, reports not resolving (resolving reports doesn’t actually federate, which is quite annoying), and plethora of other issues. It seems that so far the Lemmy devs have bren busy with other things and thus mods have had to learn to deal with it with various scripts and bots.

      I have been planning on making a post discussing this, but I’m waiting for the problematic posts and images to be removed first.

      (Also I have to go soon so I didn’t have time to read the full discussion)

          Yeah I actually had no idea that resolving reports didn’t federate either. The situation is definately worse than I thought, but hopefully they’ll fix it soon. Thank you (and Qaz) for looking into it.

              Honestly, I appreciate the effort you put into looking into it, but we could’ve saved a lot of effort and time if you had looked at the modlog like I suggested 3 weeks ago. Or, idk, trusted that I wasn’t lying to you?? Or, I know you have like 4 alts, too, so you also could have just tested it yourself before spreading misinfo to new mods.

              It wasn’t harmful misinfo, but it’s misinfo nonetheless and I’m not gonna lie, it’s annoying that it took this much work to correct you. Especially after your antagonistic behavior in the past. And especially especially after I’ve already demonstrated to you that the problem as you presented it was wrong, and (if Martineski wasn’t mistaken) at least one other person also told you you were wrong.

              I agree with Martineski: Going forward, accurately convey the problem and inform people that it’ll be fixed in Lemmy v1.
