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.

Question: What moderation tools do you find most useful?

Follow up question: Are there any moderation tools you wish existed but don't?

My wish would be some form of content editable by multiple accounts, useful for megathreads or community wikis.

I'm finding it difficult to find or create a good tool for Lemmy. I started on a service called socialcare.cloud to work as a 3rd party SaaS application to monitor instances and mirror the content for moderation constantly. In the end, it doesn't make sense to do because it's just centralizing the fediverse. The APIs of Lemmy just aren't robust enough to support external services right now.

I'm interested in knowing what people are finding.

I've been planning on building a replacement front-end that allows additional moderation tools, but it'll be a while before it's ready. There are complications with data storage, etc.
