Checking on multiple accounts on this and other instances, the modlog loads for us, though we can only click through to the removed posts on an admin account. Is your issue specifically with trying to click through to see a removed post, or is it when trying to load the modlog at all?

Here's how the modlog currently looks when loading it on a test account (hidden under a spoiler for those who don't want to see.)

click to expand.

Then when actually trying to click through to see a removed post I get the following error on the test account:

This is the same across multiple instances, which are on the latest version of lemmy. Which tells us this might be an intentional change specifically to prevent regular users from seeing offending content. There doesn't seem like there's any easy way to remove this restriction on our end as it seems to just be part of the lemmy software.

There does seem to be a new setting which is ticked automatically in the new update to hide mod names (probably to further reduce their accountability.) This, fortunately, is a setting, and we have unchecked it, so the names of the actual mods who did the actions should show up now.

Hope this helps!~

Absolutely not. We don't want to be opaque about anything when it comes to running this instance.

It seems to be working for me both when logged in and logged out. Tried clearing your cache? The UI was updated since the recent update.
