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

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 @[email protected]". 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 [email protected] from the community [email protected] 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.

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.

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
