    I don’t understand why…

    The lead devs of Lemmy seem hostile to significantly improving the moderation tools for both moderators and admins.

      Yeppp… This is something I keep hearing, and I used to be hopeful that the FOSS nature of Lemmy would negate this issue, but alas…here we are two years later :/

        There are absolutely viable forks/rewrites of the Lemmy backend. Sublinks was the one I was keeping an eye on, but progress seems to have slowed down significantly on that. It’s supposed to be a drop-in replacement for Lemmy that continues working with current apps.

            I thought part of the difference with piefed is that it’s not a drop-in replacement that can hook into current databases, such that an instance would have to start afresh on a new subdomain, and users would have to sign-up again, re-subscribe to their communities, etc. Is that the case, or was I mistaken?

              You’re correct. On the other hand, Piefed is more or less usable today, and regularly gets updates. Sublinks hasn’t had meetings or progress for over 6 months.

                  Seems like everyone just proved yesterday that a community could be migrated in a few hours if needed 😄

                  More seriously, you’re correct, it will probably happen gradually with a few early adopters
