What moderation controls do the creators or owners of lemmy communities have over their content?
I had a look through the documentation but couldn’t find anything in this. Are there any moderation powers held by community owners? How extensive are they if they exist?
Not sure if this is all, but looking at the mod log that you can see on any community these seem to be the options:
Yeah, you can view reports, remove posts, etc.
Complete control. They do as they wish. It's my 3rd account after getting banned from 2 servers for absolutely nothing!
lmao xD
The question was about community owners, not instance admins
So I think I just hadn’t had enough coffee when I asked this.
Most of the information is available in the docs. I think, right here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html
A pleasant surprise for me was that community moderation can occur over federation.
@maegul@lemmy.ml I am wondering if communities can be private / approved users only... I didn't see that in the docs.
This section of the docs suggests that you can: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/06-other-features.html#lemmy-as-a-blog
@maegul@lemmy.ml Actually, that process that it doesn't do what I want... The printing part is "... Everyone else can comment...". Meaning is not a private community, just one with partially restricted access.
You can delete and lock posts. You can also ban members.
Admins have the additional power to ban entire instances and do instance wide bans of users.
