Is the modlog broken? (lemmy.ml)

Some recent actions appear on the second page instead of the first page, even though the first one goes all the way to actions done 3 years ago.

Also, I could swear it used to say which mod made each action before. Now it doesn't, was this changed intentionally?

This is because every type of mod action is a separate list and some actions happen more frequently than others. Page 1 of modlog is actually page 1 of all those separate lists combined and then sorted by time

It's hidden in lemmy-ui to avoid harassment.

I'm sorry but that doesn't seem to be the case. All pages have all kinds of mod actions. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "type of mod action".

I guess that makes sense. Though I think it would be better to at least differentiate when an action is taken by a mod or by an admin.

What i meant to say is that each type of mod action has it's on pagination and the main modlog just squishes them together based on page number. check the last items of page 1 they are all admin appointments, there are only a handful of them and they don't happen anymore. they appear in page 1 because they belong to page 1 of it's type

Nah, this ain't it. Almost every page has one "Removed post" or more. I'd say every page has different mod actions. They're not organized or anything.

I don't understand what you mean with the admin appointments either. I mean, yeah of course there are only a few at the start? Because adding admins is uncommon? I don't get what this has to do with the modlog having different actions in different pages.

Besides, if it truly was like you say, there'd be an indication somewhere about what action one is viewing and it wouldn't be implemented with a basic next/previous layout.

modlog having different actions in different pages.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by separate lists. That's how they are stored internally.

Each one of them are fetched and then COMBINED to create the view you're seeing.

ie. P1 of Modlog = P1 of Banned Actions + P1 of Post Removal Actions + .... + P1 of Admin appointment Action

Ohh, I understand what you mean now. Still, I don't think that's it! Just go ahead and try ctrl + F of "Removed post" and cycle through a few pages. Then do the same with "Removed comment". They're not at all lumped in chunks together.

And even if it was as you said, it would still be a bug, no? That's not at all good UX.

They're not at all lumped in chunks together.

Yes, because we sort the combined list by time also

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Hmm, on my instance it still says who did what in the modlog.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Is your instance midwest.social? That modlog does show who did it in most entries, but there are some that don't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

Yes, that's mine. Hmm.
