I gather some server is for some arcane reason censoring naughty words to protect our delicate sensibilities. Is it on my end, on lemmy.ml? Is it the server people are posting from? Is it something happening in the federation? Is it the Romulans?
Assuming you’re using a browser, on the main community page, expand the sidebar. The modlog is linked at the bottom, just above the list of mods. Here’s the modlog for /c/nostupidquestions
If your chosen mobile app doesn't offer the feature, then you can't. Every app that does offer the feature does it differently, so it's impossible for me to give you a single guidance that works on every mobile app.
I assume you do have access to a web browser on mobile though, so open your web browser, navigate to the instance hosting the community and/or your own home instance, and then depending on the layout used by your device the modlog will be a clickable link in the sidebar to the right, or will appear as a link near the bottom of the page after scrolling to the bottom.
If you use Liftoff (which I largely recommend!) then you have to open the community or instance that you are interested in, and on the "about" tab (it shows the sidebar) there is a "modlog" button at the bottom, which if you click you'll see the modlog for that community or instance.
You can open the main page of a community by clicking on it's name when you see it (like in the header of a post), or by searching.
For opening the instance main page you basically click on the instance name until you see it. Most of the times it will get you there directly, but sometimes you'll need to find and click the instance name once more.
Or you can open either from a search menu, of course.
In a few threads now where someone typed an expletive, the post gets censored and it just says removed where the word should've been.
I'm trying to link to a comment, but when I check the link, it keeps pointing to my response to them. Seems like some other lemmy quirk, but maybe it'll work for you
In another post, someone tried to say "resting removed face" but it came out "resting removed face"
edit: well that's awkward, when I tried to write b i t c h, it did it to my comment here. So it is a lemmy.ml thing?
It's a conspiracy to cover up the truth about the Scunthorpe assassination attempt where Herbert Cockburn was given a poisoned shitake by mr Callahan from Sussex.
You don't have to be a tankie to censor things. We can't have people spreading nazi propaganda or saying racial slurs. You wanna become another platform like Voat?
I hope they start cracking down on the slurs narcissist and cult. It's tricky because those two are legitimate words inside the community, but people have lately taken to using them as pejoratives.
