Which tools specifically?

Standard Web forum tools include:

• Editing posts - the main issue is misleading titles
• Moving posts to different communities
• Merging posts
• Splitting comments into separate posts
• IP check

This post makes some good points about reports federating (being worked on, I believe) but also about the lack of what we’ll call a “moderation panel” where you can access tools for the community, like seeing a list of banned users and being able to add to it there or unban someone.

There are other “nice to have” tools like post approval

I am curious to see what moderation tools PieFed, has and NodeBB now they are federated, but the documentation is skimpy on that front.

It shouldn’t be too difficult. A move is essentially a cross-post but it keeps the OP as the poster (rather than the cross-poster). You’d then want to lock the original post, and either hide it or add a message directing people to the new post. That’s all current forum software does.

From my perspective we need better Mod and Admin tools. Forum software has a lot of them but Lemmy is lacking in this department.

The key important one is being able to move posts to different communities. You’ll often get reports of posts not being appropriate for a community but there is no way to actually move it.

Yeah, that’s a tricky one - it does have local content but this is about helping reduce confusion and helping people sign up, and it won’t help in that regard. So I’ll remove it from the list.

It has a huge number of plugins - this is a list of the productivity ones. You’d need to do some reading to see if it has what you require.

As far as I can tell, you can do.

Obsidian has a huge number of plug-ins, that cover a wide range of uses. I also use Zettel Notes as a quick md file editor and that has the ability to capture pages in markdown to read later. And/or you can use Omnivore.

Counter-proposal: Perhaps use Obsidian instead?

Also flagged up here.

I use Calibre.

I have also since this post purchased MMwave sensors. But they’re worse for picking up the cats.

You can fine tune some and the Aqara FP2 seems to do a good job ignoring pets.

I ended up making binary sensors for each room in Node Red. Did I leave the room? Who else is there, nobody? Ok mark it clear…

Why not use mmWave presence sensors?

Lots of people love to cuddle dogs as self-care and by golly, that’s just as wholesome as it gets.

This message is about as wholesome as it gets.

Who doesn’t love cuddling a dog? I bet even cat people wouldn’t say no.

Brian Blessed once sent me a Christmas card with “GORDON’S ALIVE” in big letters across it. My username is from Flash Gordon, not Star Wars or Warhammer.40k.

It’s been my nickname for 30+ years, so I went with it when I started out online.

I sometimes wonder about setting them loose just so we can ask them questions like “so you are a fan of having sex with headless, limbless torsoes… How long have you been a serial killer?”

And one I am glad we Admins got first… crack at.

Has anyone else encountered ad bots in their signup applications?

Yep.

Oh indeed. I expect someone will work to fill that gap eventually.

I tried a lot of keyboards but didn’t find anything that felt just right until I switched to Heliboard and I’ve been really happy with it. The only thing I miss is being able to add gifs but I won’t be switching back.
