More intuitive placement of add mod functionality #314
Comments
This is a good idea, and we'll add a dedicated community settings page at some point, which will have this. |
Just looked for a way to delete an account that has no posts... I think, basic moderation and administraion tooling should be available on the account's profile page. |
Trying to get an instance setup as an alternative to a subreddit but the lack of easy to access tools is definitely a very large hurdle. |
This is confusing. There should be some kind of moderation panel available to any mod/admin who accesses the community. I wanted to add a moderator, but asking them to make a post first is quite unintuitive. |
Hi, any updates on this? I can't code in Rust, but I have just started a new community on lemmy.world and it indeed took me about an hour to figure out how to add someone as a moderator to my community, so this definitely needs a rework to make the moderator workflow more intuitive... Would be nice to get at least some of this done before 0.19.0 is fully released, methinks :) |
I coulda swore we had "all moderator actions are done on comments and posts" in several places. |
Currently, the only way to add a moderator to a community is by clicking the triple dot menu on a post they have made in that community. This presents three problems:
This has led even several technically adept users to be confused. I have a few possible alternatives for adding a moderator.
Alternative A: Moderator Management Panel
Add an "edit" link next to "mods" in the sidebar visible to mods only. Allow for adding and deleting moderators. This is my favored alternative because it keeps moderator management separate from other aspects of community management. It also keeps the edit link visually close to what is being edited.
Alternative B: Include in settings
In the edit community panel, allow for managing moderators. The upside is that it stops community settings from being spread to many different parts of the UI. The downside is that it rolls functionality into the edit community panel that doesn't really fit the simple set of fields style with an edit-save cycle. It also places the edit button away from what is being edited.
