Report those asap. Gotta nip the trolls/idiots in the bud if we want to prevent them from running amok.
Lemmy Support
Support / questions about Lemmy.
Even the largest communities I've found so far are terribly moderated. It will kill this platform if not addressed.
It will take time for tools to be built on top of lemmy to allow for more robust moderation
AutoMod is currently missing from both Lemmy and Kbin.
If AutoMod gets baked in to one or the other (or both!) then this sort of thing will go away down. I was a mod on a 500k+ user subreddit and AutoMod did most of the heavy lifting for this stuff.
Do you know of any Lemmy tools/mods currently? Right now I'm interested in something to auto post links from an RSS feed from official sources for my community, PS5. I'd like to auto post playstation blog posts and new YouTube uploads from the official channel. But I'm also looking for anything to make the community better.
As a reddit mod, other than AutoMod, what other tools did you use in your sub?
I'm sure they're being worked on, but I haven't heard anything yet. Theoretically any fediverse bot will be able to make posts, though.
One place to start may be here: https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter
That takes Reddit comments and copies them to Lemmy. I have not used it and cannot say how well it works. But it's something to look at and a link I've seen thrown around often.
Theoretically, that's kind of what you want to do, just with RSS instead. (It may also be possible to mirror any arbitrary subreddit using RSS, as Reddit allows viewing subreddits as RSS... that'd be a cool bot to open-source if someone does have the skills.)
