How to fetch a remote modlog object (self.lemmy_support)

Drag was banned from a community on lemmy.blahaj.zone, and then unbanned. The unban is clearly visible on the lemmy.blahaj.zone modlog and its local ID is 27459. However, the unban has not federated over to lemmy.nz. Drag has tried calling get_modlog, but that doesn't appear to trigger a federation request, so lemmy.nz can't see the modlog entry. Drag tried to use resolve_object, but couldn't figure out the query syntax from reading the API documentation or the Lemmy source code. And the source code seemed to suggest resolve_object only works on users and communities anyway.

Right now, drag can't post to the community because lemmy.nz won't let drag, even though blahaj.zone would be happy to accept the post. Drag wants lemmy.nz to see the modlog object and recognise the unban.

You can't. resolve_object in the API needs a full URL - something you could also put in a browser to uniquely identify an object - a user, community, post, or comment, but not a modlog entry.

You'll have to get the mods / admin at blahaj to flip the ban again.

Other instances have recorded that particular unban, so it's possible that - at the time it was sent, lemmy.nz rejected it because the community didn't have any local subscribers. So, considering the activity, it would be a lemmy bug. Maybe not though, maybe lemmy.nz was just down at the time. Anyway, it's showing 1 local subscriber now, so assuming that's a different account, another attempt should be acknowledged.
