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?

Could something like this be developed into a browser extension? You search in the extension and it does this for you in your preferred search engine?

Thanks, is there a way I can referse it in the meantime?

@nutomic@lemmy.ml maybe you know what's going on? (Sorry for the ping)

This is awesome!

Sign up your typoed email address with the email provider to make it legit, and then retrieve the verification email?

I see you mod the other lemmy piracy community. Are the largely the same? Are you planning to focus on the new one? I follow both, but just wanted to ask

Not to defend reddit or anything, but the linked post and comment are 1 month old.

Games that I wished were on Android or some console were Card of Darkness, Grindstone, and Bleal Sword.

The first 2 I want on Android as they are more mobile friendly, and the last one I plan to play on my steam deck.

Of course! Whoever runs the server bears the cost. How they pay for it is up to them and the community. Maybe you run your own instance and pay out if pocket. You'd be your own admin and can do whatever you want. Or you join lemmy.ml and maybe donate or sub to patreon, or you don't pay anything. Maybe in the future some instances might make private deals to pin ads at the top in exchange for payment. It's up to the server hoster. Right now it's the wild wild West. If a server gets filled with ads and you don't like it, you pick up shop and join a different server.

What lemmy/the fediverse really needs is an account migration tool, so that if you want to set up shop elsewhere, you can export all your subscriptions and settings, etc and import it into a new profile on a new instance. That will come with time

I wanted to play this so badly but the apple arcade exclusivity killed it for me. Glad we have other options now

Yes, somewhat. Communities are like subreddits. So yes, if a community is doing what people don't like they can pick up and make a new community. A good example is on reddit r/gaming used to be more discussion and news focused but over time it became more popular and filled with memes. Some in the community didn't like this so they made the r/games subreddit which is news and discussion focused.

On lemmy, that new community can be made on the same instance or on a different instance.

What I was getting at, was that in addition to this, if the communities on an instance dont like how an entire instance is being run, they can pick up shop and just move to a new instance. As a user you'd have to make a new account on a new instance, but you'd be able to subscribe to all the same communities on the instances you like.

To simplify: Instances are run by admins, communities by mods. On reddit your only option is to make a new subreddit and change your mods if you don't like something, but you will always have u/spez as your admin. On lemmy, you can ditch your admins and set up shop with other admins.

To answer your kbin vs lemmy question: The only reason you would pick one over the other would mostly be due to their layout and customization. Additionally, instances can block other instances, so you might like kbins layout, but maybe they block an instance that has a community that you like. Conversely, kbin might have a cool community you want to subscribe to, but your specific lemmy instance is blocking it. So you can do what I said above, you pick up shop and you set up in an instance that doesn't block the community you want to join. Alternatively, you can set up your own instance on your own server and then you can join anything you want, provided that you aren't so toxic that other communities potentially block you lol.

I have general helpful additional links in the bottom of my sidebar over on my community https://lemmy.ml/c/ps5 if you want to see how you can do some of what I said above.
