Comment on Issue with mod appointment

This is a long-standing Lemmy bug related to the moderator not being on the same instance as the community. I added you as a new moderator.
You will encounter other similar bugs due to you being on a remote instance:
- Changes you make to the community sidebar will only be visible from your home instance, and will be undone whenever your instance syncs with lemmy.world.
- You will not see reports from your community.

This looks like an issue that has come and gone over time. A comment in #4865 says remote mods could make changes in 0.19.3 but there were problems in 0.19.4 and 0.19.5. Maybe it really was fixed in 0.19.6, but broke again in a later version? LW is now on version 0.19.9.
In the meantime, if you need help making changes to your community then let me know. I’m happy to help until the bug is truly fixed.

Would you mind making @pruwyben@lemmy.world a mod there? I made that account a while ago to see if I could make it a mod but that didn’t work either.

Done. I removed the absentee mod (ThatFunnyGuyver) and rearranged the mod order of your accounts so @pruwyben@lemmy.world is the “top” mod.

Thank you.
For now the community is small enough for me to check everything without reports. But I guess I’ll need .world account as a backup eventually.
