Hi there!
I'm not sure this is the right place for this, but I don't know what place would be better.
Quick background: I made lemmy.ml/c/freecad quite a while ago, as well as a couple of other communities here. I am the only mod. At one point I moved over to slrpnk.net/u/zksmk. I transferred my ownership of these communities to my new slrpnk.net/u/zksmk account and unmodded myself (lemmy.ml/u/zksmk) from these communities. There were no issues.
The communities were sleepy and/or well behaved until now, so I did basically nothing until now. However, considering FreeCAD, the software, just did a long anticipated logo change, I wanted to change the community icon. This is where the issues happened.
The problem: I change the icon on https://slrpnk.net/c/freecad@lemmy.ml, it goes fine, but after a while, instead of the lemmy.ml/c/freecad icon getting updated with the new one, the opposite happens, and the new icon on https://slrpnk.net/c/freecad@lemmy.ml gets rewritten back to the old one from lemmy.ml/c/freecad. Basically, I can't change the icon. I also tried modding back my old lemmy.ml/u/zksmk account, but the same stuff happens. I can't mod anyone. My modship is dead in the water. The communities are modless.
The instances are federated, I can comment just fine tho. I don't think that's where the issue is.
Quick fix: I don't know if this is an old bug, a recent bug, or is it intended, but it is like that. I will make a bug report on github, but until it gets resolved, can the admins add my lemmy.ml/u/zksmk account as a mod of the lemmy.ml communities slrpnk.net/u/zksmk mods: c/freecad, c/fusion, c/fossart and c/ubuntu_studio, so they are not effectively modless. And so I could update the freecad community's icon with the new FreeCAD logo. :) Thank you a lot!
