I keep seeing posts that I want to view the context of, and am unable to since it got nuked by the moderators. Considering mods are still able to view it, it’d be nice if a regular user could see it as well.

    How long does the modlog take to federate? I also like to see the removed posts and am often looking at the latest removal being 2-4+ hrs before the post I want to see was removed and the persons name and reason isn’t even there. Some removals seem to just vanish into the void

      So, on posts, next to the up-vote arrow, there’s a rainbow-colored pentagon that will take you to that post on its original instance.

      I guess for deleted posts you would instead need to go to the community/instance where what you are trying to find was, but the modlog there would definitely be the place to check, IF my original comment is correct, which I haven’t seen confirmed or disproven yet. I have no idea if the modlog federates per-se, beyond the minimum pointers/references necessary for mod-actions to propogate.

        Ahhh, that makes sense. I browse ‘all’ after my subscribe and local feeds and never really pay attention to where the post comes from, ty.
