Just a quick reminder on the moderated federation topic: due to some bugs on Lemmy, reports won't federate to mod accounts on other instances (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744). Even if they do (it works sometimes), closing them from a remote instance won't federate back to the instance where the community is located, staying in the admins' reports backlog.

From personal experience, some other actions like appoint another mod, pin/unpin threads do not work either.

While this stays an issue, please use local accounts to moderate.

That's all, see you around.

I prefer to let it show that I am a mod even when I was the only poster, felt more transparent about who I am. There is always the option to "Speak as moderator" on a comment you make in a community you mod. I use this option when I'm speaking in that role and not as another user who just so happens to be moderator.

Each approach work, as long as you feel comfortable with it!
