You can search any instance’s modlog by username. Here is your modlog on your home instance, and here is your modlog on lemmy.ml. In this case it looks like your 2 month ban from !memes@lemmy.ml has not federated so it’s not (yet?) visible on your home instance. This is a software bug. HTH.
(Also, as I told OP in PM, I am not the mod who issued that ban; if I had, in this case the stated reason would probably have been “sealioning”.)

Thanks for your help.
How do I find the modlog of an instance? I’ve always just clicked the hamburger menu on someone’s comment to view it, and that’s not available on yours.

in your web browser you go to the instance and click “modlog” to go to, eg, lemmy.ml/modlog … and from there you can search by username.

I really don’t think 90% of people who do or should use the fediverse are regularly hopping onto other instances directly to check their mod logs, nor do I think they should be expected to.
This is turning into a feature request, but there should be some way of viewing federated instances’ mod logs from your home instance. Or maybe a ban/removal notification?
People less technically inclined are just going to shrug their shoulders when they encounter obvious QoL bumps like this and just go back to Instagram/Twitter/Facebook/Reddit/etc. rather than take the time to make a Lemmy.world Support post and/or DM every mod (as I was previously told is the fediverse equivalent of modmail).
