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.

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.
Wait, what? Are we supposed to start the whole discussion again?
Why would I look at the modlog when everyone involved on this topic agrees that using local accounts is the recommendation to mod from local accounts?
I didn’t say you were lying, I was saying that you were not following the recommendation that is to use local accounts to mod. You still don’t, by the way, for both this community and [email protected].
The other person is you.
I was getting antagonistic because it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. That you mods were power tripping by wanting to move !196 to lemmy.world against the community’s will was already bad, but then when you confessed you didn’t even have a local account, (and that hence your handling of the reports would not federate to LBZ), that was the just too much.
It’s okay to make mistakes, but it’s usually better to recognize them.
Anyway, long live [email protected]
The issue as you were presenting it was just wrong. Plain and simple. If you’re not going to own it, that’s your prerogative.
Me and Qaz both have told you now that having a local account doesn’t solve the issue. You need several alts, local and remote.
Let’s give it another go then.
If you are the only mod team in the entirety of Lemmy who use a specific alt to get more reports, this should be raised, and all mod teams should have that specific set of mods.
I just had a look at the
All of those LW communities are probably the one with the most reports as they are the most active of the whole platform. None of those team use remote accounts to mod.
There may be something strange happening with the LBJ setup (potentially due to the high number of users and instances banned). Let’s hope qaz can detail more when they have more time.
That whole issue does not change anything to the fact that for the report resolve to actually work, you need to use a local account as remote accounts don’t federate.
I edited my comment for completeness, but it does not change the key message: it is recommended to use local accounts to be able to perform all mod actions (while we wait for qaz detailed explanation). The reasons behind doesn’t change anything to the recommendation.
Also, following your own logic, you have directly asked the mod of this community to add your lemm.ee account as a mod to catch all the reports rather than just suggesting it as an afterthought. But it seems like you’re only using this argument as an excuse to defend why you were not wrong by wanting to mod from a LW account.
