right, but wouldn't it be best to have an account on the instance the community you moderate is on? Presumably this is the best way to have exact parity - the the community won't support comments or users from instances it defederates from, right?
iirc that's very recommended anyway. Eg. @FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz also has the account @FQQD@feddit.org for moderating !196@feddit.org. Otherwise, many mod actions may not federate correctly to the communitie's instance (or smth)
mod actions generally do federate correctly, at least on the latest lemmy versions. it's just reports that don't.
but in general, you will need an account on the community instance to get full federation abilities when you take potential instance bans and defederations into account. even when it's not a defederation, if a user is banned from your instance but not from the community instance their posts won't make it to you.
You can ban directly using Tesseract and if mod actions federate there it'll ban them, and it'll also remove their comments if you tick remove submissions. I've done it before for users banned from Blahaj but commenting in our communities.
oo, thanks - that's good to know.
Yep. As well as @internetfuneralmod@lemmy.world
Yep that's right
Of course! I was just telling you what I do. I didn't claim it was perfect 🙂
oh, sorry - didn't mean that as a critique, just was thinking out loud and wondering if there was a reason I wasn't seeing to moderate from a single open instance (like you) vs the approach of having a moderator account for the instance of the community you moderate 🤔
