I would like the ability for people to mod communities outside their instance.

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 13 points 7 months ago

This is already possible.

[–] Nighed@sffa.community 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not tried it, does it not work?

[–] livus@kbin.social 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not yet, I think.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I literally do that now

@scrubbles @Lanky_Pomegranate530

That's so cool! Does it work between Kbin and Lemmy? Or are they both lemmy instances?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

For me it's just Lemmy, dunno about other services, but I believe it's all activitypub protocol specs, so I would imagine it works

[–] livus@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago

I think our dev had it in a to do list at some point. Must check it out again.

@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech That's really cool! Definitely something for people to consider rather than developing hyper-specific moderation tools for their own Lemmy or whatever.

Why wouldn't they just make an account there?

This is like asking to redecorate your neighbor's living room

[–] livus@kbin.social 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd like to be able to ask my neighbours to help me move furniture in my living room.

I don't mean community creation, just mod assistance. It's easier if we don't have to keep logging into different accounts is all.

I'd say the bar for entry for modding is having a local account
