What are some communities you miss on reddit? - eviltoast

Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

    I don’t think the folks doing the development want to have it built in

    Huh, that seems a bit odd. Why would that be? Seems like mod tools will be increasingly needed as Lemmy grows.

      It’s more that it’s low on their priority list

      The current tools probably work good enough for them if they just need to instance-ban people 😅

        if they just need to instance-ban people

        “When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

        I think Lemmy could benefit from some more… nuanced mod tools.

      Like blaze said it’s priorities. Small team by necessity, so you have to pick your projects.

      Stability and reliability trump everything else. As long as lemmy has been around at this point, it’s still really early in development, or that’s what I’ve heard developers say. I don’t have the skills to say anything in that regard. So they put their time and effort into what they consider most important.

      And I can see where more mod tools is lower on the list compared to things like database management and such. Basic functionality is there, and the user base is not so big that they can’t get the job done. It would sure be nice though
