I recently created a private instance and I’m trying to make a mod in my community but when I add their name I receive the object not found error. I’m typing in the name as @(username)@(name of my instance).com. Am I doing something wrong or is there a fix to this error?

    I am using the photon UI and it does not give me that option unfortunately.

      You could try an API call: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/post_community-mod

      Otherwise try without the first @ in the name? I’m not sure how Photon expects it. Also try without your instance, just the name (with or without first @).

      Another option is to spin up the Lemmy frontend on another subdomain. Lots of Lemmy instances run several front ends.

      Photon calls /resolve_object. If you type what you typed in photon in the search page, does it work?

      What error are you getting?

        Yes it works in the search page. I am receiving the error “object not found”

      If it’s not working in Photon, you could try a different frontend, like a mobile app. I think Jerboa and Boost can do it
