Do removed posts sometimes not get listed in the modlog? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was going to reply to a comment to continue an argument and noticed that the asklemmy@lemmy.world post (about censorship) it was under seems to have been removed (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/77717181). I figured it's probably down to the no politics rule but still wanted to check if a rationale was provided, but I can't find it in the modlog. Am I not looking in the right way, or else what could be the reason for that?

You could try to Filter by Action for "Removing Posts", and then look for how many ago the post probably have been removed. Generally speaking, using these filters seem to show more then the general unfiltered list of Modlog. Not sure if that is actually true, but I feel like whenever checking for, some logs only appear when using such filter.

    Makes sense, that was actually the first thing I tried, looking through all of the 'Removing Posts' on https://lemmy.world/modlog since the time of my comment (there aren't actually a huge number of them), but the post isn't there.

    I just noticed that I actually do have a way to see who the user was though, since the post was still open in another browser window I forgot about. Filtering by user shows they got banned and some comments removed which does clarify to me what happened, but the removed post still doesn't appear in the list which is strange. I guess it's possible it was deleted by the user rather than removed by a mod.
