MODERATORS
 

The beta for groups will release later this week, which won't be federated initially. Federation will be added afterwards.

Looks like it will have some interesting features like videos, polls, and events, as well as moderator tools like limiting what a user can do.

A menu in Pixelfed titled 'Limit Interactions' which shows that a moderator can prevent specific users from posting, commenting, or liking posts and comments.

I hope we get more instances thats more art focsed rather then tech. I see a lot of protential with that.

lemmyloves.art was just created and there’s also literature.cafe, but there definitely should be more focused instances being created, instead of general-purpose ones.

In case you haven't seen it yet, I've compiled a fairly sizeable list of focused instances. More would be cool, but there's a fair number to check out already.

Thanks for the shout out! I agree, more niche hobby focused instances are better.

Thank you for actually creating it! Moderating even a small community is difficult, I cannot even imagine what it’s like for a whole instance. I wish you luck and hope it takes off!

Today there was a post about an art instance for Lemmy 😊

Maybe someone will create one on Pixelfed too

Aw thank you for the shout out! I run lemmyloves.art as well as literature.cafe I contemplated making an art focused instance on pixelfed over lemmy but the software just generally isn't there yet imo. Maybe someday I might give it a shot provided if I get donations to help sustain my current instances on lemmy. I like pixelfed and it's rapid development though, it's extremely promising.

Yes the dev made huge progress the last few weeks I wish you good luck with your instance. I subscripted to pixelart already 🌞

I just made an account on literature.cafe last night. :) Haven't gotten around to logging in and doing anything yet, but I like having a couple alts to see unique local feeds and such, and yours looked so interesting! I love how federation allows for those kinds of interest-specific instances. Can't wait to explore yours. :)

If it reaches a certain critical mass. These things always have a tech bias at the beginning because it's the nerds who invent them.
