Welcome

I'm working on a moderation tool to work with Lemmy.

I'm still in early development and discovery. This channel will update the status and respond to questions during development, testing, release, and post-release.

You are encouraged to create posts defining your needs. I also appreciate feedback on status updates. This helps me maintain the right track.

Here's a laundry list of sort with tons of tools we'd like to see

Role for approval of applications (to delegate)
Site mods (to delegate from admins)
Auto-report posts with certain keywords or domains (for easier time curating without reports)
Statistics on growth (user, comments, posts, reports)
- User total
- MUA
- User retention
- Number of comments
- Number of posts
- Number of reports open
- Number of reports resolved
Sort reports
- by resolved/open
- by local/remote
Different ways to resolved a report
- Suspend account for a limited amount of time rather than just banning
- Send warning
Account mod info
- Number of 'strikes' (global and local) and reports
- Moderation notes
- Change email
- Change password
- Change role
Ability to pin messages in a post
Admins should be able to purge
Filter modlog to local
Better federation tools (applications to communities, limiting)
- Applications to communities to allow safe spaces to exist (people should not be able to just "walk in" on a safe space - similarly to follow requests in Mastodon in a way)
- Limiting (Lock our communities down from certain instances but still allow people using our instance to talk to people from those instances)

Obviously considering the moment when this is being made - federation tools are our highest priority.

I've just posted about my lemmy moderation tool which could help out with moderating posts/user approvals 😁 https://lemmy.world/post/7242824 it's still in "beta mode" so happy to get feedback on things not working 🙄

There's still some additional things I want to add, and I'll create some of your items as feature requests.

Currently:

Allows filtering modlog by local.
Somewhat decent report sorting, need to add filter toggle for local/remote.
Obvious options for purge/delete/account information

There's plenty more that I can add, with ample time :D

In my opinion "change password" is an outdated way of doing things.
"Send password reset email" would be the correct way.

Emails are optional on some instances. Having both options would be nice. On the other hand, allowing admins to change their users' passwords makes it easier for them to impersonate their users, though that just may be something we accept.

Yeah, the issue is people without email but also people with the wrong email. I've caught quite a few typos from our email server not being able to send their approval because the email had a typo. I did send them manually and tell them the error they made.

So, I guess we could just change email but I don't see quite the difference in terms of abuse with regards to change password if I could simply change someone's email and get it anyways.

People providing a broken email also make the approval hang. it works approving them, but the admin gui hangs with a spinning icon until you do a full page refresh.
