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 you go, you’re all set.
Welcome to the Team.
Hello,
Be aware the reports don’t federate, so people modding from non local accounts won’t get reports.
Thank you very much for the info.
@A_Very_Big_Fan@Lemmy.World
I’ve already told @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com that this is not the issue, and I’ve demonstrated to him that he’s wrong.
Unfortunately, the federation issue isn’t that simple. If it were, I would’ve submitted another LBZ application a long time ago. I’m unclear what exactly causes the problem, or if it’s even one thing causing it…but what I do know is that even if you have a LBZ account, you won’t get a complete list of reports because some of them don’t federate properly.
SDF was the most reliable place to see a complete list, but they blocked LBZ and kbin today, so that really throws a wrench in things… Qaz was the one who figured all this out, so when it’s closer to morning time in his country I’ll have to shoot him a message and find out what the next best place is.
In the meantime, I have an alt on lemm.ee that seems to catch most of what my LW account misses (@A_Very_Big_Fan@lemm.ee). I can add it as a mod if you want.
Well…
Report federation used to work. I appointed several mods from other instances back then. The issue seemed to have appeared in May 2024 (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4701).
The issue has been closed last week (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744), and the fix still has to be released.
The issue you linked applies to a version of Lemmy that neither LW or LBZ use. Or any instance, as far as I’m aware.
Again, looking at the modlog is all it takes to demonstrate that you’re mistaken. We are actively resolving reports on our remote accounts.
This other issue was also opened in May: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744
I don’t want to go through the update timelines of LW and LBZ, but on !support@lemmy.world, LW admins still state that

I had a look at the modlog, it works in this case indeed ( https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog/2942?page=1&actionType=All&modId=115895 ). I am not saying it never works. I am saying that there are known cases where it does not, which is why the LW admins recommend people to use local accounts. Maybe in this case it’s because the report was from a LBJ account for a LBJ community?
I also posted about in 19 days ago on !fedigrow@lemm.ee: https://lemmy.world/post/24576402 . Other mods and admins reported other actions that would not federate. Nobody contradicted the fact that it could be working sometimes.
The consensus recommendation is just to use local accounts while we wait for the fix to be released. It’s just easier than to try to figure out what works and what does not, in which conditions, etc.
You are welcome. Thank you a lot for your posts on Reddit, I try to relay them on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com, you definitely make a difference!
