I’m cross-posting this to [email protected] in case Issue #2 below is symptomatic of a sync issue that the admins need to know about.

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/5452780

My main account is on sh.itjust.works, but I am a mod for some communities on lemmy.world.

Issue #1: A few weeks ago I learned that user reports do not federate between instances (Github issue #3781). Therefore I cannot see reports from the .world communities.

Issue #2: As a workaround for #1, I created an account on lemmy.world. From my sh.itjust.works account I made my lemmy.world account a mod in my communities. Unfortunately, it is not taking effect. See the attached image for one example. My lemmy.world account does not know that it is now a moderator account.

Is issue #2 simply a sync issue between the two instances? Or is something else happening?

Is issue #1 expected to be resolved in the near future?

    Make a post/comment with the unlisted account, in the community in question.

    It seemed to fix it for me

      I just made two posts in [email protected] with my .world account and nothing has changed. It was worth a try, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

        Odd, yea I guess you just need to give it some time

        I asked one of the lemmy.world admins to manually give my .world account moderator rights in my communities. That did the trick.

        Though now I found another weird bug. From my sh.itjust.works account I should be able to hit the “leave mod team” button in one of the .world communities and have that account no longer be a moderator. However, when I try it the change doesn’t stick, and my mod rights come back a few days later. I suppose I could ask the .world admins and have them manually remove that account, but at this point I’m out of energy to bother with it. I will just have two mod accounts for a while. Maybe the upcoming Lemmy 0.19 release will fix some of these quirks.

        Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

    What’s weird is that it’s the account that’s local to .world that doesn’t show.
    Maybe remove it and add it again, there might have been a lapse in sync (.world being down while you did that) or something similar.
