I looked around and struggled to find out what it does?
My guess would be that it notifies you of when new posts are made to communities you subscribe to. But that sounds like a lot, so I’m really not sure.
Otherwise, is it me or does the wording here not speak for itself?
Yea … but then each front end would need to implement it. Seems like some useful API endpoints would be better so the clients can just focus on the GUI.
awesome-lemmy has definitely gotten more awesome since I last saw it (IE, there are more things there)!!
Though I’m not sure there’s anything there quite touching on what I’m thinking about. I regularly hear about the lack of good moderation tools/interfaces … so I figure it makes sense to start a single project that’s relatively fast moving and comfortable with function creep to give admins/mods the tools or at least interface they want and need. The auto-mod stuff is important too, but the sense I get is that mods and admins feel somewhat blind and helpless with the tools as they are, which feels ripe to me for a richer interface.
The mods/admins would just have to use the one with the functionality. Isn’t that the same as your proposal? I’m not sure I follow what makes it different.
Oh sorry … I was talking about multi-communities, like for every user not just mods/admins.
Ah right. Because I think you could build it into a frontend or app and anyone using that app would be able to see a feed of joined up communities.
I’m not sure how a different implementation would work. There is a lot of public/private key stuff happening in ActivityPub so you can be sure that the federated posts are actually coming from the community you subscribe to and the users it claims wrote them.
If you work it out I’d be interested to see!
