Got it. I saw that Vacant was then in the mod list, I've transferred the community to you (based on seniority) and removed Vacant from the moderator list.
Hi, is the other moderator inactive/stepping away?
Just a reminder that section "3.6. Vote Manipulation" of programming.dev's CoC prohibits targeted downvotes and mass downvoting of posts. You've already broken it by mass downvoting JokeDeity's old posts, please don't break it further. If you keep breaking our CoC, a temporary ban may be given.
It is a precautionary policy to avoid what is currently just a theoretical. You'll be the first to create personal blog community so it will be interesting to see how it works out.
Nothing is set in stone of course and policies may be revised, I won't make any claim that the current set of guidelines are perfect and immutable.
The intention of requiring a 3rd party to act as a moderator is to avoid mod abuse from the blog author such as deleting comments or banning people for unreasonable reasons. E.g. someone correcting an error in a blog post and then having their comment deleted and banned by the author in retaliation.
Ideally Lemmy would have more granular level of mod authorisation so that we could just remove access to deleting and banning people.
If someone makes a non-relevant post in the community, it would be removed. If it becomes a recurring problem, we can look into automating that process.
Huh, I wasn't aware that the alternate frontends offered more utility. Looks pretty nice actually, thanks for the tip.
Programming.dev offers the tesseract frontend here: https://t.programming.dev/
The mod tools are unfortunately pretty poor on Lemmy. For adding/removing moderators via the GUI the person must first post/comment in that specific community. You can then via the context menu of that post/comment add someone as a mod.
The alternative is to interact with the Lemmy API directly via a script.
I've added myself as a moderator, although the whole admin team may operate as moderators, similar to [email protected].
If you got additional changes you want to make to the community, e.g. add additional rules like make it explicit that only you can post, or add a banner to the community you should do it now before you're removed as a moderator. Otherwise you can always DM me/the admin team if you want to make changes to it.
Edit: As Blaze pointed out, you can use alternate frontends like https://t.programming.dev/ to gain additional GUI mod tools
Hi, we have now published official community guidelines as announced in this post.
Please let us now in the linked post if there is still something unanswered.
Yeah, we ban the spam accounts on the first report we receive.
Yeah, no problem. Funnily enough Nottingham Forest already had the alias nottingham stored.
Here's every club alias for the bot:
If you can't see posts you make on hidden communities that you are subscribed to on your profile, that sounds like a possible bug, and I'd encourage you to report the issue to the Lemmy repo
