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.

    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).

          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 that so far the Lemmy devs have bren busy with other things and thus mods have had to learn 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

            resolving reports doesn’t actually federate, which is quite annoying

            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.

        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.
