I've used Lemmy for a while and just recently felt like I was missing a feature for the first time: I'd love if there was some kind of mod mail functionality. One of my posts was removed by a moderator and I wanted to ask why, but I obviously didn't know which mod did it, so I just randomly messaged someone from the list. There should be a more "elegant" way to do this, like some kind of functionality that allows a user to send a message directly to the community or the moderation team itself.

Just fyi, since the mod log is public you can look up who removed your post.

Every time I've looked it just said "mod", even though sometimes I'm pretty sure it's been an admin.

The default Lemmy UI doesn’t show it I think. Voyager and Photon show the mod, not sure about other clients

It just says "mod" for me.

I just realized that the default Lemmy UI doesn’t show it. Photon shows it and Voyager to. There are probably more but I know those two show the mod.

The moderator is only given if the action was taken on your local instance

That’s not true:

Interesting, as you are replying to the Photon dev 😄

This must have changed recently since i remember having to add an explicit case to show just "Moderator"
