Is this something publicly accessible or do you need to be a mod or host an instance?
You can put /modlog after the instance URL, e.g. https://lemmy.world/modlog
I just did and some of the stuff is wild. Not gonna quote or reference anything for my account safety, don't ask.
This is so fucking good. I was so sick of shadowbans and not knowing what went down on reddit.
Only banned once because i supported ukraine to much, doing pretty good.
Guess that was probably on an lemmy.ml community?
My only complaint with the modlog is that it doesn't say which moderator performed the action. It just says "mod", so there's no way for a community to make sure particular mods aren't just going rogue.
The Modlog is (or should be, in theory) accessible on any Lemmy/Kbin instance. However, it is on an instance by instance basis whether the Modlog shows full information for each moderator action. Like you said, some instances will only show "mod" but others will provide the names.
To be honest, I haven't been looking at the Fediverse a whole lot lately, so I can't recommend which ones are the best and most transparent. At one point in time, the Lemmy.world Modlog did provide full info but it seems that they have changed that in recent months.
Also, certain instances have definitely started to selectively federate mod logs for whatever reason. .ml being the worst offender. It's a good idea in theory, but it's already being abused.
Just go to the instance website and there will be a link to the modlog usually at the bottom of the page.

Two downvotes for just supplying a link to a comment that answers the question, so that copy/paste is not done?
I guess we're not supposed to be helpful anymore. /shrug
