I am writing currently my master thesis and using Jamovi for the statistic part.

I want to do a moderation and also a mediation analysis with medmod. But I was wondering if I need to do mean center the predictor beforehand?
Do you have any general guideline how medmod works and are the results similar to SPSS?

Thanks for help :)

I'm almost certain that medmod automatically centers for moderation. I ran moderation analyses using medmod then using PROCESS on SPSS (on SPSS choosing center all variables in PROCESS) virtually identical results as in jamovi.
