as a mod/admin, i would appreciate being able to edit post titles. there have been a fair number of times where i asked a poster to do so, and then waited a while for them to before deleting the post if they don’t.

and/or, it would be nice to have a way for us to temporarily semi-delete a post while waiting for OP to make requested changes to it; that is, to hide it from the community view but leave it visible to people with the URL, or people who find it via the user profiles of the poster or commenters in it.

editing titles would be awkward without an edit history or, at the least, a way to see that some 2nd party had edited it, and editing post bodies would be even more so. but it would make sense and be useful with an edit history, i think.

i would also appreciate having content addressability, portable identity, composable moderation, and… perhaps a pony 😂

there is some interesting discussion of the problem and possible solutions (including links to github issues) in this blog post: https://popcar.bearblog.dev/lemmy-needs-to-fix-its-community-separation-problem/

this comment was deleted by someone else for disclosing the identity behind a mod action, but since it was my identity being revealed i am choosing to reply to it.

These actions are being taken by .ml site admin Arthur Besse / cypherpunks. There’s nothing I can do as a mere community mod ^^

As a moderator, you could and imo definitely should remove the links to that instance from the sidebar, and in their place put a note mentioning that sexualized drawings of children are not allowed here. I’m not really into anime but I have enjoyed some and I would rather that we could have a community for it here than not. But, that requires moderators who are willing to delete things like that (not to mention not link to it themselves).

Any volunteers?

lol at redacting that password

Edit: for anyone upvoting this because they think it’s about sharing a shortcut, look again.

also for everyone reporting this as “offtopic” 😄

Thanks for the effort, but, unless I’m missing something, this is unnecessary because you can simply make a relative link like [this](/c/lemmy@lemmy.ml) (this) and get the same effect. Also, as of 0.18.0, a string like /c/lemmy@lemmy.ml automatically becomes a relative link, like this: /c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

However, these relative links unfortunately don’t work on non-lemmy activitypub sites like mastodon and kbin.

imo, despite this, for now an easy improvement that should be made is that lemmy’s autocomplete functionality (when typing !communityname...) should be changed to generate relative links.

I haven’t followed the discussion closely but there are multiple github issues about this problem. One is here and from it you can find some others.

their admin says clearly that “racism, bigotry, sexism is allowed" there.

someone tell the bot author about xkcd #327

it’s disappointing seeing so many people here excited about something that is not (and apparently not planning to be) free open source software :(

…and less than a month later, the new lemmy release allows following peertube channels!

thanks, @nutomic@lemmy.ml et al!
