Is it possible to view removed posts in the modlog, I mean the content of it?

There was a really stupid question lately, which got removed, but nevertheless I would like to see the response to it before it got removed.

    That looks like the error that shows up when the community hasn’t synced with the instance yet, usually when you’re the first to subscribe to it. My guess is that the removed post wasn’t synced to your instance before it was removed, so your instance doesn’t have a local copy to show you. You could probably get around this by navigating directly to this community and then checking the home instance’s mod log.

    Here’s a direct link to test it out: https://lemmy.ml/modlog/8

    Note: I’m guessing as I don’t have access to server logs to confirm.
