I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

Ok, so why can't I just host the data on my own device and subscribe/unsubscribe from mods' actions?

You can, it's called hosting your own instance. It's literally one of the points of the Fediverse (i.e. 'Fuck you I don't like how you're running things, I'll go make my own with blackjack and hookers'). If an instance admin does things you don't like, you get to leave, go to a new instance, and follow the same communities you did before via that one instead.

I still wouldn't be seeing the content that mods are censoring elsewhere.

The modlogs public to see removed comments. Just a bit difficult to navigate through currently

That's ok for auditing a moderator, but no good for seeing everyone's stance on the particular topic or post I'm interested in.
