I actually think Lemmy needs more work before it grows much bigger. The mod tools are really lackluster currently. And that was a big reason people wanted to leave Reddit.
Fair point. The same was said of Mastodon many moons ago. A lot of people put a lot of time and energy into detailed feature requests, describing the problem to be solved, and exactly how their proposed solution would work.
Given that I've also seen the same complaint about apps in other federated networks like matrix, maybe what's needed is a general solution? A website where experienced mods describe the problems they strike, and how social software developers could help them with mod features.
