It makes it easier to prioritize what I work on if I know someone’s wanting a feature. What sort of stuff do you wish Alexandrite had? Especially talking about missing features from the main UI.

If you can, please provide some explanation for why you would like that feature and what problem it would solve for you (unless of course it’s a feature that Lemmy has already but Alexandrite doesn’t support yet). Knowing what problem you want solved helps me work with you to brainstorm ideas for the best solution (see the XY problem).

I actually haven’t added any of those popups when typing things yet, so you’ll have to wait I’m afraid!

No rush I was just curious. Thanks for your hard work, Alexandrite is gorgeous!

By the way, I’ve never really modded a community so I’d love to hear what you think would be useful features.

So far I’m adding:

  • the reports page as it shows in the screenshot (you can ban/unban users, remove/unremove posts/comments) and ban reporters if they’re being bad (though this has some issues, I haven’t been able to figure out how to check if they’re banned unless they’ve made a post/comment that also shows up in the /report feed, hence the “Unsure if banned” messages)
  • remove/ban buttons from the little down arrow menu button on comments and posts
  • mod log page

What else would you want?

Those are all great, maybe adding the M and A badges to indicate a user is a moderator or admin.

Having the mod tools available from the report screen is fantastic, along with the link to comment icon.

Maybe a section in the three line menu in the top left that has “Communities Moderating” above the subscribed ones, or placing the communities you moderate at the top of subscribed communities list.

The icon to pin / lock a post in a community is missing:

Accessed through the little down arrow menu button on posts.

Also the appoint as mod button that would be accessed from the little down arrow icon on posts/comments

That is all I can think of at this point but I’ll edit this comment If I think of anything else.

Thanks again!!!
