piefed.world is on an older version of piefed where that wasn’t added yet. Similarly, instances that are on older versions of piefed won’t have links to the modlog on a community’s sidebar or on a user profile’s dropdown.
I’m not sure what is holding up piefed.world from updating. They are still on the 1.1 branch when 1.2 has been stable for some time now and we are preparing 1.3 for release very soon.
Without being an admin you won’t be able to see the username of the mod that banned you. This is also true for lemmy.
It is in the dropdown on their user profile page. Putting it on every single post/comment feels like overkill to me. Or, I just use the modlog way less than most people.
It’s also linked in the footer of every page.
Not the person you are replying to, but I wouldn’t call it obscure, no. It’s getting used more and more in recent years and there are pushes to even use it for parts of the Linux kernel. However, it is a language that you wouldn’t be familiar with unless you are most likely a professional software engineer (or a very dedicated hobbyist).
One of the benefits of python is its relative ease of learning and readability make the codebase easier to understand and make contributions. I don’t work in software, but I have made numerous contributions to Piefed for features that I have wanted in lemmy, but I haven’t ever been able to wrap my head around rust.
Nothing against lemmy though. Their codebase is a couple years more mature, and since they develop api-first, it is more feature complete from a mobile app’s perspective. Piefed is developed web ui-first by comparison.
Alright, after another user pointed it out to me, I suspect the reason you aren’t seeing links to the modlog is likely because you were on piefed.world. They have been slow to update their piefed instance and are still on the 1.1 version. That means that updates to piefed that have been introduced in 1.2 (current stable version) and 1.3 (current dev version) are not present. Some updates to the modlog since then:
