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.

Why'd you pick Blaze? Is that a Sonic character? I do recognize that your profile picture is some kind of Sonic character, but I never got into the franchise. I know Sonic, Amy, Shadow, and that's it.

To be honest, I don't even remember where it comes from. I needed a nickname for Lemmy, and just found that this one was quick and easy.

About the avatar, yes it's Sonic inspired, I'm not even that big of a fan, I just played the game a bit when I was a kid.
