I believe there are a large number of feature requests on Lemmy’s GitHub page, making it difficult for developers to prioritize what’s truly important. I propose creating a quarterly pinned post on Lemmy asking users for complaints and suggestions. This way, developers can better understand the community’s biggest pain points and what to focus on. The goal is to provide constructive feedback so developers can prioritize the most pressing issues.

Please keep discussion productive and focused on specific problems. Avoid vague complaints or feature wishes without justification. Our aim is to give developers clear insights into issues impacting users most.

    I did say the complaint:

    The mod tools are too basic and barebones

    I also gave three ideas that are (1) manually done by mods/admins, (2) manually done by users, (3) automated by mods/admins.

    On a small subreddit I moderate, we have automod automatically queue posts at a certain age. If your account is less than a day old, your post is hidden for public viewing while the mods manually approve it. We had to deal with a lot of spam bots and this was a good solution for us.

    I believe the way the report feature works on Lemmy is that it sends out to the mods of the community and all the admins. It doesn’t work quite well when I don’t know the rules of a community. “No memes on mondays”, is that really something I (as an admin) should be worried about? That’s not my job.

    I hope this clears things up.
