Is the mod tools on Lemmy really as barren as they look?
I'm trying to start a new community, but am immediately noticing a near-complete lack of moderation tools. No automated filters, no ability to ban users without directly navigating to the offending content, and no form of bulk operations at all. Am I missing something, or is it really that bad?
Yes. One of the reasons why piefed is so popular is because of improved mod tools.
Not sure if sh.itjust.works offers Tesseract as a UI option, but you can direct ban/unban users and bulk-mod comments among other improvements to mod tooling and report actions.
If not, then I'd normally point you to the unlocked hosted instance (https://tesseract.dubvee.org/) but the VPS provider it uses is having issues right now, and my 3 hour old ticket has not yet been acknowledged.
Edit: Oh, they answered my ticket and I was able to start it back up, so the hosted instance should be working if you'd want to try it.
We do at https://tesh.itjust.works/
Ah, nice. I recommend that one to OP then since it's 1st party and not an alpha version haha.
Yes.
Come make the community on piefed where we have proper mod tools!
damn lemmy still hasn't improved mod tools? what the hell are those commies working on?
you wouldn't think it from the amount of adminning on .ml
