Moderation tools for communities?

submitted by nihar

Hi all,

First of all thanks for the great work. It is really nice to see a project in a language I understand :) Also, I'm very grateful for the video walkthrough of the codebase!

Anyhow, before I did a local install I thought of trying the online version and poke around a little to understand the features. I made a community for the sake of testing (https://piefed.social/c/trolley_problems) but it won't let me use the "moderate" or "settings" functions. Is that because my account is new?

Hi, welcome to PieFed!

Those features are not built yet, but they will be soon.

There is a queue of 40 issues to be worked on. I have put the highest priority of those into this kanban board, which features the 'basic mod tools' task/issue. It is the next thing to work on, after I finish sub-topics this week.

As PieFed is still in beta it is not wise to create new communities yet. I recommend you wait until mod tools and https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/22 are completed.

Thank you! That is good to know! Again, I only created the community to understand the state of the project and help with some user testing. I'll create some issues based on this!

Hi there,

I'm working on these features at the moment. The 'settings' button lets community owners change a few things, including appointing new moderators. The 'moderate' button lets owners and moderators do moderation-y things. The moderation part is about 50% complete but you can see where I'm going with it.
