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.

    This other issue was also opened in May: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744

    I don’t want to go through the update timelines of LW and LBZ, but on [email protected], LW admins still state that

    Note that, due to a bug in Lemmy, you will not be able to see reports in the community since your account is on a different instance. You could work around it by making a lemmy.world account just for moderating.

    I had a look at the modlog, it works in this case indeed ( https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog/2942?page=1&actionType=All&modId=115895 ). I am not saying it never works. I am saying that there are known cases where it does not, which is why the LW admins recommend people to use local accounts. Maybe in this case it’s because the report was from a LBJ account for a LBJ community?

    I also posted about in 19 days ago on [email protected]: https://lemmy.world/post/24576402 . Other mods and admins reported other actions that would not federate. Nobody contradicted the fact that it could be working sometimes.

    The consensus recommendation is just to use local accounts while we wait for the fix to be released. It’s just easier than to try to figure out what works and what does not, in which conditions, etc.

      You don’t see any reports from a non-local account.

      Be aware the reports don’t federate, so people modding from non local accounts won’t get reports.

      I am not saying it never works.

      Maybe not currently, but that is what you have been saying.

      Maybe in this case it’s because the report was from a LBJ account for a LBJ community?

      No.

      There are federation issues with reports, but it’s not as simple as you’ve been saying, and having a local account doesn’t solve it. There’s a reason Qaz has several alts modded at 196 outside of LBZ. He needs them because there are several reports that don’t federate with LBZ, LW, or lemm.ee.

        So mods who don’t have that specific set of alts don’t see all reports? That should probably be raised to all the mods of the platform, as your team seems to be the only one aware of that issue.

          IIRC Qaz has mentioned it in the LBZ mod channel in Matrix at least once. If they didn’t hear it from him, it should be obvious something’s up when Ada tells them there are unresolved reports and their mod queue is empty.

          If you feel it should be shouted from the rooftops, then nobody is stopping you.

            Hello @[email protected] ,

            Could you please provide some details on why you need all of the alts to mod [email protected] ?

            Seems like there are several reports that don’t federate with LBZ, LW, or lemm.ee.

            That’s a an issue that does not seems well know (as stated in the comments above, the general recommendation from the LW admins is to use a local account).

            I’m not even talking about LBZ or !196

            If all reports don’t make it to local mods, then that’s an issue that’s impacting the whole platform, hundreds of communities.

            I’m to reread the thread when Moss and Ada explained their versions of the issue, because this doesn’t seem right.
