How to tell if I have been banned from another instance’s board (lemmy.world)

I made some offhand comment and now when I try and view the comment, edit it or find the board through search, I can’t find it.

I do the same with my wife’s account and it works. Is there no system message saying your banned?

Hey, I've done a bit of testing to help you out, here's what I found.

  1. If you get banned from a community, then it will show in the instance Modlog (link at the bottom of the page):

  1. There is otherwise no notification given to the user or any text to say you're banned.

  2. I could still search for the community and view it, but just couldn't post to it.

  3. There is no difference in behaviour between getting banned from a community on your home instance, or getting banned from a community on a remote instance.

I'm guessing you can still access the instance the community was on? Can you check the Modlog?

Ok so now I can see the board on the different instance. I’m in mobile exclusively so I dont actually know how to see the mod log. So I can see the board, I can edit the comment but I can’t see the topic. Maybe the topic is removed?

Anyway I can see the board now so I guess everything is all good

Hey it's worth mentioning a bunch of .ml instances got taken back by the country that owned the domain ending. Sort of like a .gov domain ending. AFAIK it affected quite a few instances.

Worth mentioning if you're having instances of content being unreachable. Cheers!

I’m on Lemmy.world and I had heard of the .ml stuff.

As an aside I’m loving Lemmy and all it’s craziness. It’s like how the internet used to be
