No permanent removing here. Pretty sure you're done, it's invisible to most of the public.

oh it's visible because I'm admin/ mod ?
correct, if you made a mistake you could unremove it. If it's so terrible you never want to see it again you can use "purge" to permanently remove it, but there's only 1 post I've gone that far on
Yep. It'll also remain visible to the broader public in your modlog, if anyone wants to check. Some of us do sometimes.
As a moderator, you should have at least one additional non-moderator account you can log in with to see what things look like from the perspective of a non-moderator. Highly recommended.
FYI: !modhelp@lemmy.ml & !mods@lemmy.world
Also note that in 0.18.2 (and any version since June 23) federation of mod removal and user delete of a post isn't working beyond 2 servers in field testing. It works for the user who removes it, their own server, and the community home server, but it is not shared to the remaining servers if the user doesn't happen to be directly on the community home server. So some other servers will still see the post. Same goes for comments. There are multiple open issues on GitHub. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3625
Thanks for that! I thought it was me. I'd just removed an offending post but looking at the community from another instance, unfortunately the post is still there (and still getting downvoted!).
