One thing I don’t like over here on Lemmy is that when a mod action happens against you you don’t get a notification of any kind. So unless you check the mod logs you’ll typically never know something happened.
NGL I’m half tempted to make a bot that crawls the mod logs to tell people when something happens to their posts or comments.
Presumably it’d interfere with .ml etc censoring dissenting (i.e. sane) opinions, which is why it’s not happening. Same as how instance blocking was like pulling teeth
On the sidebar of every community in lemmy-ui is a link to the modlog. For example, here’s a screenshot of this community’s sidebar:
Unfortunately on Jerboa I couldn’t find any way to get to the modlog. Don’t know about other apps.
You can also navigate to /modlog on your instance. e.g. https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog. Unfortunately it’s not very easy to use, and it’s not always clear. For example, when I loaded the page, one entry I saw said “mod Banned @TransFormer78@startrek.website”. Which mod? Why, what did they do? Where have they been banned from?
Another entry when I look at the modlog from my instance says “mod Banned Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com from the community News@lemmy.world reason: advocating assassination expires: 4 days ago”. Mostly great, I know who was banned and from where and why. I still don’t know who did it, but whatever. The only catch? The ban was issued 2 hours ago. Issued 2 hours ago but expired 4 days ago? Huh?
I’m glad it exists, but I rarely look at it. It’s just not practical to use most of the time.
Unfortunately I’ve yet to find an app that makes getting to the modlog easy so the only option I’ve found is to open my phone’s web browser and check it that way.
At least Lemmy works better on mobile than a lot of other sites

It’s already been requested as a feature request, see https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572

Maybe there’s no good answer 'cause I’m on an app, but how do you even check the modlogs.

Ah, thanks!
I’m on Sync and I don’t see any convenient way of looking at it either. This info does help a lot, though.
