How to get a specific moderator name from the modlog?
Well, yes, sounds stupid, but I can't figure out the name of the mod who deleted my message. It looks like it IS possible, but I just don't know how.
You can do it with the Tesseract web UI. Probably others as well, but the default Lemmy web UI is pretty dinkum and seems to be missing quite a few of the more detailed features. You are correct that this information is indeed exposed by the API.

Now the question is, what are you going to do with this information?
That is a very good question. I don't know the answer yet. But I'm kind of tired of being bullied by mods. 0004 in my nickname isn't just a nice number I like for no reason.
Lemmy explicitly started hiding the names from the modlog because users bullying mods is a much bigger issue than the reverse due to the asymetry of lots of users having main-character-syndrom Vs. only a few mods having to deal with all that.
