How come I'm seeing "removed" all over the place?
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?

Not OP, but how does one read the 'modlog' on mobile?
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
How the hell do you 'expand the sidebar?'
I don't totally get this user interface. Not for lack of trying, more for lack of I don't see what you're saying...
Go to the /c/nostupidquestions page in a browser: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions
Near the top left, just under the community name is a label that says “Sidebar” with a little plus symbol to the right of it. Click this an it expands out, listing the community rules and a bunch of other info. At the very bottom of the expanded region is the list of mods. Just above that is a link labeled “Modlog”.
If you are using a mobile app or the mobile version of the site (m.lemmy.world) then you may not be able to do this.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
And here's my message from the Jerboa app for Lemmy on Android.
I'm on the toilet right now, you expect me to drag my laptop in here?
The modlog seems also good on mobile browsers.
Please explain, how's that work?
What tap? What do?
I'm not exactly stupid, just new to this service..
On the standard Lemmy UI on Android if you click the site logo, top left, you should then see a sidebar button that contains the modlog link.
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.
I've actually found it now on the Jerboa app, but thank you and everyone else for the advice.
New platform to me, still learning, but hey I'm enjoying it so far anyways 👍
I had to quit using jerboa weeks ago (too unstable) and switched to something different. Glad you found it. The public modlog is awesome. It's one of the significant and intentional differences from reddit (which does not expose moderation activity to users). Having the modlog be public forces transparency and accountability, which is refreshing.
Huh, I'll admit Jerboa does have its moments of hiccups, but I haven't found any significant issues with it so far that I couldn't attribute to a lemmy.world temporary server issue. 🤷♂️
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.
