I keep seeing posts that I want to view the context of, and am unable to since it got nuked by the moderators. Considering mods are still able to view it, it’d be nice if a regular user could see it as well.
You must log in or # to comment.
Modlog
Bottom of every page.
I think they meant the actual post, with the comments and all.
Pretty sure that’s in there, even if not all-together in an easy-to-see as-it-originally-was form. Transparency was a big part of the Lemmy schtick/sell during the reddit exodus.
If that’s possible I don’t know how. Clicking removed posts in the modlog just gives me an error.
I imagine it varies by-instance, but that’s all I’ve got, sorry.
How long does the modlog take to federate? I also like to see the removed posts and am often looking at the latest removal being 2-4+ hrs before the post I want to see was removed and the persons name and reason isn’t even there. Some removals seem to just vanish into the void
So, on posts, next to the up-vote arrow, there’s a rainbow-colored pentagon that will take you to that post on its original instance.
I guess for deleted posts you would instead need to go to the community/instance where what you are trying to find was, but the modlog there would definitely be the place to check, IF my original comment is correct, which I haven’t seen confirmed or disproven yet. I have no idea if the modlog federates per-se, beyond the minimum pointers/references necessary for mod-actions to propogate.
Ahhh, that makes sense. I browse ‘all’ after my subscribe and local feeds and never really pay attention to where the post comes from, ty.
