Locking this community and directing users to !star_wars@lemmy.world seems reasonable to me. I would normally want the moderator to weigh in, but @PowerOfGamers@lemmy.world appears to have been inactive on Lemmy for almost a full year.

I will pin an explanatory post and lock the community. We can always unlock it later if something changes.

You can PM one of us admins about it via Lemmy or Matrix.

If it’s an active community then we’ll pass it on to the rest of the team to see if a new mod can be found. As I type this, my lemmy.world reports dashboard shows 363 open user reports. We need attentive mods in our active communities to handle those; the admin team can’t possibly keep up on our own.

If it’s an inactive community then we will probably just leave it alone. The incremental cost of having one more inactive community on the instance is negligible. On the other hand, intervening has the potential to create trouble if the mod eventually logs in and sees that their community has been changed/locked/removed while they were away.

I assigned you as the moderator to !popculture@lemmy.world

Assigning/removing mods is a manual process handled on a case-by-case basis. There is no official policy about removing banned users from their mod roles, though that doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Communities with no mods (or absent/inattentive mods) keep humming along until something brings them to the admin team’s attention. There are hundreds of communities like that on this instance. Lemmy.world does have a Community Team who try to find and address communities that need moderation help. It’s a big task, though.

Nope. It’s still an open request: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3710

I added you as a community mod.

@ComradeMiao@lemmy.world mentioning you here so you’ll know what happened if/when you come back to Lemmy.

I added you as a mod.

@Photographer@lemmy.world mentioning you here so you’ll know what happened if/when you come back.

I made you the mod. The prior mod (@AAjax@lemmy.world) has been inactive for months.

As the other user mentioned, I suggest using a lemmy.world account for moderating lemmy.world communities. When using an account on a remote instance you do not receive the reports from that community.

Did you change the language settings in your account? It looks like you’re consistent about tagging posts as English. If that language was deselected in your account settings then all of your posts would be hidden when you are logged in.

Edit: This post was tagged as Afaraf. You might want to change that to English or Unspecified.

I discussed it with the community team, and we decided to give you the mod role. !genealogy@lemmy.world is yours now!

I discussed this briefly with the LW community team. Congratulations, you are the new mod of !star_wars@lemmy.world.

Goodbye

You are correct that my first point was incorrect. I just learned that the level of detail in the modlog is configurable and varies by instance. For example, if I look at literature.cafe all modlog actions are performed by “mod.” On lemmy.world, though, some of those same actions are performed by “admin.”

From Lemmy you can see the accounts, but usually not their content (see note below). @lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social
@georgetakei@universeodon.com

Interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon doesn’t work well because the two services structure their content differently. Lemmy is community based and Mastodon is user based. Lemmy doesn’t have a mechanism to follow an individual user, and Mastodon doesn’t have an analog to communities (afaik).

(Note: In the case of these two accounts, some of their toots are visible because they have been pulled into the !tails@lemmon.website community as part of an experiment to bridge Lemmy and Mastodon.)

What you see in the modlog depends on your role.

• If you are a regular user, or are not logged in, the modlog shows all actions as performed by “mod” regardless of who did it.
• If you are a community moderator, you see who performed each action within your community. But you don’t get that level of visibility in other communities or at the instance level (I think).
• If you are an admin, you see everything: which user performed each removal or ban, in any community, on any federated instance.

The effect of bans and content removals depends on the actor’s role.

• As @willya@lemmyf.uk mentioned, community mods can only perform community bans.
• Actions performed by an admin from a remote instance are local to that remote instance. A site ban means you can no longer interact with communities on that instance. If your posts/comments are “removed” they will be hidden from users on that instance but still be visible to users on other instances.
• Actions performed by an admin on you home instance are global. If you are site banned, or your content is removed, those actions federate to other instances. You are effectively banned everywhere and your removed content is hidden from everyone. (Of course this assumes everything federates properly.)
