I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I love this app. (self.liftoff)

This is the most polished app I've seen yet for Lemmy. It has many features that's just simply missing on many other Lemmy apps and has a nice interface. It's also not that buggy from my experience, and doesn't really crash at all. I might actually be able to ditch my PC to browse Lemmy and moderate my communities now! Thanks for the app, developer!

How are you moderating communities with the app? I have zero moderation tools available when I am logged in and I am an admin on the instance.

Also I have a second account on the same instance but when I log into that one all my upvotes and subscriptions are identical to my main account. I can't do anything separately.

I love this app, the UI is nice to me and it's quick and easy to use. But I need mod tools and for accounts to actually be separate.

Ah yes, I think I didn't check before but yeah, I don't have any moderation tools available. It's probably not the highest priority for the app, but I'm willing to wait. Atleast I can use the Open in browser option and do anything I want from there with the desktop site.

I don't really have a second account, so maybe I'd guess it's a bug? That sounds strange to be a feature.

Could you give us a summary of what functions you tend to use, to give us some idea of priorities. I mod here and only ever sticky a post, but other experiences would be useful.

[–] GamerBoy705 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'll list almost all of the options with highest to least priority.

Necessities:

  • Remove comment (with reason), and restore
  • Remove post (with reason), and restore
  • Lock post, and unlock
  • View reports from users on posts and comments (I mean this) - This is probably the hardest to implement but it's also kind of the most important tool for moderators
  • Ban user from community, and unban

These options are not as important to be present on the app but would still be very nice to have:

  • View modlog of a community - It doesn't have to be perfect, just something to quickly see what's going on. This is something anyone can see!
  • Feature/pin a post, and unfeature
  • Ability to edit the community name and sidebar/About section, so you can make quick changes when needed
  • Ability to see these stats (maybe in the About section), so you can see how a community is doing. Anyone can also see these stats too!
  • Appoint user as mod, and remove them as a mod - On the desktop website, you should go to the specific user's post or comment on your community and select 'Appoint as mod' from the options to make them a moderator, which is kind of confusing if you don't know where to look. Hopefully there's an easier way to do this, where you can bypass that post or comment to appoint or remove any user as a mod (if possible)

This would be exactly how I listed priority of features as well.

EEEEEEEEE!!!! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you take the opportunity to get feedback and then actually listen to it.

[–] liftoff 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Always happy to listen. Action's a different matter of course 😉

We've started discussing how we're going to deal with this, but there's a fair bit of groundwork to be done first...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh absolutely. I' rather time be taken to get things right tan to do a rush job. The important thing is, the needs have been acknowledged. That's a big first step. Lemmy is still new, no one is in a hurry. Thanks for all you do.

That's incredibly useful thanks! They've gone straight into an issue: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/issues/366
