PSA: Mods, please moderate from local accounts (feddit.org)

Tl,dr: use a local account for moderation.

Hello everyone,

Just a quick reminder on the moderated federation topic: due to some bugs on Lemmy, reports won't federate to mod accounts on other instances (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744). Even if they do (it works sometimes), closing them from a remote instance won't federate back to the instance where the community is located, staying in the admins' reports backlog.

From personal experience, some other actions like appoint another mod, pin/unpin threads do not work either.

While this stays an issue, please use local accounts to moderate.

That's all, see you around.

I mean, I know you're the [email protected] expert, so I guess over time people still get to know each other.

For me it's also a way for people to quickly check if it's actually me or someone trying to impersonate me (probably won't ever happen, but you never know)

That's true. And you probably have more risk of getting impersonated, you kind of seem like a big recognizable name, especially since you seem to lead the "growing the Fediverse" discussions.
