How do I delete a post that arrived from Mastodon?

I've got a post in my community that was posted by mistake. This one:

https://lemmy.world/post/4989402

It was actually me that posted it from my Mastodon account.

I can't see a way to delete or hide it from the community.

The kebab menu only has the following items:

  • Create report
  • Block user
  • Lock
  • Community pin

I've tried reporting the post and it appears on the report page, but I don't seem to be able to do anything with it other than clicking "resolve report".

  • did a little experiment on a low-user count community I made. mastodon post https://mstdn.party/@m3t00/111419530632049425

    " Subject Text maybe @[email protected]

    post from mastodon "

    lemmy post https://midwest.social/post/5499353

    has mod options

    Feel free to post from any mastodon account.

    added pic becomes thumbnail and pic on lemmy. hmm, could cause headaches

    lol that warning about log in or register, obviously not

    Remove post worked but I didn't test other mod options

    Comment from lemmy makes a reply on mastodon.

    thinking about trying from firefish fully expecting similar results.

    • I still don't see moderation options on my posts from Mastodon.

      This community: https://lemmy.world/c/coys

      Most of my posts are from Mastodon. None of them can be removed from Lemmy from within Lemmy, even though I am a mod of that community.

      • YOU are not a mod btw! "Hallenberg" is. Not you. You probably transfered your ownership to him and did not thought about it. With no mod perms you will not have any mod actions or user action.

        • Not sure what you're getting at. I am Hallenbeck. I am the mod of the [email protected]. There is no โ€Hallenberg". Not sure what you're saying.

          • Now you are, before it wasnt shown on the lemmy ui. It was 2 months ago, so many things could have changed.

      • 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: [email protected]

      • Not sure. Depends a lot on context. menu changes depending on how you got there. From the report mailbox links often land me on the poster's instance not logged in. Confusing for sure. Try clicking on the group page link. clicking on the post title works, iirc

        • might be different since poster is also a mod. my example was from a non-member mastodon account. same name different instance
