Hi Lemmy! I've just uploaded a new version, and this is the changelog:

  • Community moderation tools: Lock comments, feature posts in community, ban users, remove posts/comments, appoint as mod. All this tools are available when visiting a thread.
  • View and resolve post/comment reports. There is a new moderation section available in the main menu (hamburger menu). It will show the new unresolved reports count.
  • Show if an user is mod, admin or bot (A, M and Bot) next to username.
  • Highlight moderator distinguished comments
  • Show community moderators in community sidebar
  • Set the default feed on app start from settings (Settings-General)
  • View cross-posts of a post. While visiting a post, tap the ๐Ÿ”€ icon to view a list of cross-posts
  • Cross-post a post to a different community (Post menu, Share, Cross-post)
  • Show new comments counter since last visit
  • Show if a link is already posted when creating a post, and where.

I think having a toggle to go into admin mode would be nice. I agree one shouldn't be in admin mode all the time, but it's convenient to have it handy when you need it.

I often report posts just so I can easily find them in the UI to delete them, especially with the recent waves of CSAM trolls. If you see something deep in the comments of a post on page 50, it's just annoying to find back through a different app just to perform an admin action. I don't host any communities, so all the links Boost gives me go to the source instances, and it tends to loop back into Boost because of the link handlers. There's no way in Boost that I could find to open the post in a browser, from my instance. For example the copy on your comment gets me direct links to lemmy.ca.

Good point yes :)

I think it would also be helpful in general for Boost to give the home instance link instead of the foreign one (I think it currently does it by the poster's/commenter's instance?). It would help for things like this, or for sharing with friends so that they see the same thing you're seeing

I wasn't aware of this, we can consider it a bug.
