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.

    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.

    Be aware that the reports don’t federate, so people modding from non local accounts won’t get reports. the usual recommendation is to use local accounts do moderate, as remote accounts resolves of reports do not federate to the community host instance.

    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.

      They can recommend whatever they want. Doesn’t change the fact that local alts have the same issue, and you need several.

      I’m not making any argument other than to counter your claim that reports don’t federate at all. That’s misinformation. Which you seem to understand now, so why you’re still arguing is beyond me.

        you need several.

        Now you’re the one spreading misinformation. Let’s revisit this topic once qaz can make that post.

        Enjoy using your remote account that cannot actually resolve the reports.
