I’ve been appointed as a mod 3 times now.

The action shows up in the modlog straight away, but it always takes a couple of hours until it actually works. Then, serveral hours later it seems to just reverse itself.

I suspect it has to do with ongoing federation issues on the side of lemmus.org (the instance of the head mod account). All post from lemmy.world are delayed by about 12 hours on that instance.

Maybe the delayed federation somehow messes with the mod appointments?

    I thought this was supposed to have been fixed in version 19.6, is that not the case? From here:

    • Allow community settings changes by remote mods @flamingo-cant-draw in #4937.

    I’m having the same issue as the only active mod of lemmy.world/c/communitytv

      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.
