MODERATORS
 

Please post one top-level comment per complaint. Then others can reply with ideas or existing GitHub issues that could address that complaint. This helps identify both common complaints and potential solutions.

You can also reply on [email protected] to better organize the discussion:

I believe there are a large number of feature requests on Lemmy's GitHub page, making it difficult for developers to prioritize what's truly important. I propose creating a quarterly pinned post on Lemmy asking users for complaints and suggestions. This way, developers can better understand the community's biggest pain points and what to focus on. The goal is to provide constructive feedback so developers can prioritize the most pressing issues.

Please keep discussion productive and focused on specific problems. Avoid vague complaints or feature wishes without justification. Our aim is to give developers clear insights into issues impacting users most.

The mod tools are too basic and barebones. I'd appreciate if we can get:

  • Post approval system for new or low-karma accounts (it can be karma for local communities)
  • Reporting system with multiple options (very hard to implement in the fediverse as everyone has different rules) so that the reports are sent to the proper channels. Admins shouldn't have to deal with community-specific rules (for example, "memes only on mondays").
  • Automoderator (these might already exist? I have not tried them.)

I don't know if I should split this comment into three or not but they're some general suggestions to address the complaint of basic mod tools.
