Restricting Community Votes (lemmy.world)

I was wondering if there is a way to only allow community members to vote on posted threads?

I think Piefed has that feature.

PieFed has the ability for a moderator to restrict votes for all posts within a community to just members, not on a per-post level. Not sure if this is what OP wants.

Also, it is really more of just rejecting and not federating out votes from non-community members. The votes from people on remote lemmy servers would still be counted just on those servers. Federation across servers and software is weird that way sometimes.

nope

one option is to wait for the next release of Lemmy (v1.0.0) and change your community into a private one, so only approved members will be able to interact with the community. This also means non members wont be able to see any posts.

Oh well. That is not really what I want to do. Thanks.
