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.

Maybe not currently, but that is what you have been saying.
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.
I was curious so I had a look:
A mod (probably from lemm.ee, but not sure as you can’t see which mod this it without being a mod on the lemm.ee modlog) indeed removed it in lemm.ee if people look at the user modlog: https://lemm.ee/modlog?userId=126228
But the post is still up on LBZ: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21242663/12597647
And it doesn’t show up in the LBZ modlog:
It also doesn’t show up on the 196 community log on 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).
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 like the Lemmy devs are busy with something else and thus leave others 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)
No worries, thanks for chiming in
Seems to reflect my experience as well.
@[email protected], it looks like qaz and I both agree on this point?
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.
Glad to see we agree in the end!
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.
@[email protected], as you reported https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4701 , could you please tell if there any known occurrences of local moderators not getting reports for local communities?
You can read the thread above for details.
I’m not aware of any cases of reports not reaching the community instance other than “generic” federation issues that could happen from misconfiguration or some random issues, but generally since 0.19 and the persistent federation queue it should be quite reliable. before that there was no retry logic if an activity failed to send and it was just discarded.
I’m not entirely sure on the behavior on banned users though, if the reporter is instance banned it’ll probably ignore their report. other than that I can’t think of anything right now.
Hello,
Thank you for chiming in.
There is also an edge case when someone from let’s say exploding-heads reports another user from exploding-heads (which is not federated with Blahaj). Blahaj probably wouldn’t get the reports, but someone on lemmy.sdf.org would, as they don’t defederated exploding-heads?
Anyway, not that critical.
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.
