Introducing yet another AutoMod for Lemmy (github.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have built an AutoMod bot for my instance, lemmy.basedcount.com. The bot covers the following features:

Automated removal
- of posts, based on their title, content or link
- of comments, based on their content
- configurable with either regular expressions or substrings
User whitelisting and exceptions for moderators to selectively lift some or all of the aforementioned rules for certain users.
Mention based pinning and locking of a post, through commands exclusively available to the mod team
Discord notifications for new registration applications through a webhook. [only for admins]

Naturally, the bot is completely open source. I have also written a rather comprehensive (albeit long-winded) documentation and some examples.

This project is mainly targeted towards admins of small instances, however anyone can spin up their own AutoMod instance for their favourite community (provided they are a moderator there).
The automoderator is also available as a Docker image, for ease of installation.

Feel free to suggest any additional features that you might want to see added to this bot.

Unlike reddit. Moderator don't have absolute power on here. Alternative communities does exist and if you manage to get banned on multiple ones then maybe it's not the moderators that are the problem.

The new user onboarding experience at Reddit is fucking awful. Every sub has an automod, most shadowban new users or have such elaborate posting rules it can make posting not worth the effort

True but your comparing small communities of enthusiasts vs big corpo. Again , alternative communities with different rules still exists.
