looks like a broken ui, I can manually input the page number to navigate it, but what a pain in the ass to use, wasn't saying it was deliberate.
The modlog leaves a lot to be desired, and piefed mod actions don't even appear on lemmy instances right now. Mind you, the way Lemmy handles instance bans is also not great either. I have noted this.
What's wrong with instance bans on Lemmy?
As far as I know, if someone from lemmy.world is banned on lemmy.zip (an example) - they are only directly banned from lemmy.zip communities they have commented on. This is why the modlog shows users simultaneously banned from like a dozen comms at once from time-to-time - they've just been banned from an instance
But any communities on lemmy.zip that the user banned from lemmy.zip hasn't commented on, they can still post there. It just doesn't federate out.
That means a user from lemmy.world could be a nuisance on a lemmy.zip community without the local lemmy.zip mods noticing. This absolutely happens on piefed bans of lemmy users now, and I assume the same in reverse. I saw a user banned from piefed.social still posting on my television@piefed.social community from lemmy.world, but it just doesn't federate out.
That is correct, and this happens to be another one of the issues which is already fixed for version 1.0. Basically for each ban we also store which instance it's associated with, which is shown in the modlog and the new mod action notifications. If you're interested I can link you the PR.
