I was on a … notorious community from a notorious instance lemmy.world is still federated with the other day, engaging in some spirited debate (dispelling a straw-man that generalizes a group I arguably belong to that is vilified in that instance as their favored punching bag), when I noticed a reply to a comment that wouldn’t load. Backing out back to my profile, I noticed all of my comments under that post are missing.
I logged out and checked via their instance, and the mystery reply turned out to be a moderator of that community (that I haven’t blocked) jumping in to add to the dogpile I was receiving. I coincidentally also saw the red Banned From Community next to my username.
Their instance doesn’t appear to have a Moderation History option to click on like I’m used to seeing on lemmy.world to see if/when/why I was banned.
Is there some fediverse feature I’m unaware of where I can look into what’s going on?

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.
