I’m a member of the Church of Bill & Ted.
Report it - people jumping straight to insults are trying to shut discussion down which really isn’t acceptable.
Yeah, let’s show them! … how to be decent human beings by example.
Here is a discussion on Tumblr equivalents.
Sorry, English is not my first language, bit I thought the post is somewhat clear?
English is my first language and it was clear to me.
Can confirm. When we took over the running of feddit.uk migrating the images took forever as it was around 300GB.
Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).
You might want to spin up your own PieFed instance. There is someone using that service for a similar art project - they are grouping images into similar sets and displaying them like an image board. You can pin certain images and/or change the default sorting.
Reddit is worse, it is utterly indifferent to us. We’re just the skulls getting crushed under the treads of Skynet’s tank.
Which tools specifically?
Standard Web forum tools include:
- Editing posts - the main issue is misleading titles
- Moving posts to different communities
- Merging posts
- Splitting comments into separate posts
- IP check
This post makes some good points about reports federating (being worked on, I believe) but also about the lack of what we’ll call a “moderation panel” where you can access tools for the community, like seeing a list of banned users and being able to add to it there or unban someone.
There are other “nice to have” tools like post approval
I am curious to see what moderation tools PieFed, has and NodeBB now they are federated, but the documentation is skimpy on that front.
It shouldn’t be too difficult. A move is essentially a cross-post but it keeps the OP as the poster (rather than the cross-poster). You’d then want to lock the original post, and either hide it or add a message directing people to the new post. That’s all current forum software does.
From my perspective we need better Mod and Admin tools. Forum software has a lot of them but Lemmy is lacking in this department.
The key important one is being able to move posts to different communities. You’ll often get reports of posts not being appropriate for a community but there is no way to actually move it.
Time for a Ghost community?
Yeah, it has to be frictionless or you lose people along the way.
Let me know if I can post the link. I don’t want to self promote of that’s not what folks are looking for here.
Go for it.
However, federation with PeerTube is currently broken.
The fix has been made, hopefully it’ll make it through to the next release.
The way I see it - the early adopters set the tone of a place and new arrivals are more likely to adopt that approach. So it is important to be kind now, so people will be kind later.
