I still have the community I moderate ([email protected]) set to mod posts only, because I'm the only mod and don't want to risk someone posting something bad while I'm not on Lemmy. We really need an approved user feature like Reddit so that vetted community members can also make posts in communities where "anyone can post" isn't a good option.
Couldn't you toggle the mod posts only option on and off based on your availability? Maybe make a pinned post explaining it and write in the times it will be available inside that post?
That seems like it’d be pretty easy. Basically just like giving someone a moderators role but with extra tier of hierarchy below normal moderator.
Seems like a nice idea TBH … I’m generally all in favour of leaning into lemmy’s ability to create sorta blogging spaces that naturally federate (and therefore are easy to aggregate).
Lemmy and ActivityPub seems to have (nearly) everything to recreate a new blogosphere, but with federation beyond its own border over ActivityPub, comments, voting, aggregation, sorting and search built right in.
