sorry that this isn't the right community. there isn't a clear place on where the information I seek is.

new mod on a community has removed multiple comments of mine that were not rule breaking regarding an unrelated violation.

second issue is that other users that were breaking rules in responses to me have had their comments untouched and have no ban.

third issue there's no log in the modlog that my comments were removed and I was shadow banned without any notifications.

as a user where can I report these obvious abuses of power?

Title says it all. I'd like to be added as a mod to /c/orthodoxchristianity because the current mod seems to have been inactive for 2 years.

I have been looking for a simpler guide to configure this UI component, photon for my lemmy instance(first turkish lemmy instance, possibly) but I wasn't able to figure it out.

I'm not much of a devops-savvy person being the software dev I am, most likely I should change the reverse proxy setting but again, I don't have the faintest idea about it. Any suggestions or guides?

Hello all. I received my first report as a mod, and I don't wish to take any further action in this case (it was about a post by me, in the group I created, so yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm not breaking the rules that I made 😂). Unlike my regular notifications, there's no "mark all as read" option, so how do I make that notification clear out now? I can see the report comes with a clickable tick, but I don't know what clicking on the tick does (not sure if maybe it accepts the report as valid and deletes the post? Or if it does something else?).

I mod a small community about digital bioacoustics(using AI to study animal communication/sounds). I made a little tool, it's nothing too extraordinary, but I enjoy it. basically it's just a google cloud function that monitors the community, when it sees a new post it generates an AI image based on the title and sets the banner and icon with it. It also catalogs all the images and leaves them as comments in my main stickied post of resources.

Question: What moderation tools do you find most useful?

Follow up question: Are there any moderation tools you wish existed but don't?

My wish would be some form of content editable by multiple accounts, useful for megathreads or community wikis.

I made a community for wheelchair users but I think it's too niche at the moment and we should instead focus on building larger general disability communities.

On Reddit its very easy to do this. I looked at all the post options on the post and didn't find a way to do so.

Cite: 1,3xx Lemmy servers federating https://join-lemmy.org/instances

The code in Lemmy does not seem to federate to all the subscribed servers when a end-user on a remote server deletes their own comment. So far, I can't determine if it has always been this way and nobody noticed, or if something broke at some point in Lemmy code changes. Has it been gong on for weeks, or did it always fail?

Please be kind to users, they may have intended to delete their own comment and Lemmy isn't properly removing it on over 1000 servers and only removes it on 2 servers.

This happens when a community is homed on a server different from the server the end-user is commenting (and deleting that comment) on.

Growing pains.

GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3625

I've been spot-checking consistency of replication between servers by looking at the same community on two Lemmy instances, sorting posts by new.

[email protected] is one of the most active communities and people frequently use it incorrectly, asking technical questions about Lemmy instead of "asking the Lemmy community" for their feedback on a topic.

In spot-checking Lemmy servers, it seems that the moderator removal of the posting is only working on the "home" server, Lemmy.ml - and other servers still show the posting in the New sort list (and I assume other sort choices? unverified).

I opened a GitHub issue about the problem: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3535

I also thought this would be a good place to raise the topic. Did anyone recall ever testing and spot-checking that moderation removal of a posting worked on multiple servers before?

Thank you.

One community I mod is primarily for sharing images. I initially required uploading to services like Imgur or PostImages and post the link to Lemmy, to decrease hosting demand, but it’s much easier to simply upload it to Lemmy. Does it make sense to re-require uploading elsewhere? I don’t want to contribute to hosting overload, but I’d like an easy user experience.

@[email protected], if you can weigh in, I would appreciate it too.

So I'm probably just stupid and I've never done this before, but I have a few problems.

1. How do I give another user mod permissions for my community? Is this possible yet?

2. How come I'm not able to see my own posts? I want to mess with the mod tools, but none of my own posts are showing unless I log out.

I have tried on web browser on my phone, on a chrome book, and jerboa which has zero mod tools AFAIK

I may be missing something and any help appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: yea I was missing something stupid. I had Show Read Posts unchecked so none of my posts were showing up.

I've still yet to determine how to grant permissions

I made my own community for LGBTQIA+ yet I'm struggling to figure out how exactly I pin posts in my community.

I didn't really intend to get into modding communities here, much like I imagine many others didn't, but since I'm doing so, I can't help noticing the mod tools are pretty basic.

Some improvements I think I'd like would probably be:

• View modlog by community, so when you click the modlog at the bottom of a community's sidebar, it filters down to that community.
• An option to review a moderated post's contents without having to go to the modlog. This would be really useful in moderation teams to see why your teammates removed/moderated a post/comment.
• A separate suspend option for misconduct that's not outright banworthy. I've seen some bans in modlog that suggest it may be used like suspending, but that's not really intuitive imo.
• Multiple post/comment selection. Right now this is pretty low priority, but if ever waves of spam come up, this would be pretty critical to clearing out spam.

These are just a few that come to mind. What are some others you've had occur to you?

On the right hand side top under the community name there is the edit community and next to that , dangerously close, is a delete option. That could easily clicked in a panic, does anyone know if there is at least an "are you sure", would hate to delete a whole community by accident.

Be aware that Lemmy federation, comments and postings going from instance to instance, is having serious reliability problems.

There also seems to be no known tool to measure or fix these problems. I suspect many site operators are unaware of the extent of the problem and don't realize that comments and postings are not copying from server to server.

Part of the growing pains of a complex app.

Another symptom of the problem is 'pending' when you join a remote community and it never changes to 'joined'. This is a sign that your home Lemmy instance isn't communicating properly with the other Lemmy isnstance.

Hello.

Does anyone have an easy to follow guide to get users migrated here? Some of us created communities that match the subreddits, and we'd like to reach out to the mods and let them know they can migrate over if they'd like. An easy to follow guide would go a long way to making this easy.

Basically, if you're a mod for a remote community (not on your home instance) and edit it, it vanishes from the local instance 😞
