Two issues related to moderating between instances (sh.itjust.works)

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

As an additional data point, my lemm.ee account doesn't show your .world account as mod there either.

@[email protected] I just noticed I can now see both your accounts as mod from https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]
Did you manage to fix this? What was it?

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]

Thanks bot, but this one was on purpose

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.
