Hi Lemmy! I’ve just uploaded a new version, and this is the changelog:

  • Community moderation tools: Lock comments, feature posts in community, ban users, remove posts/comments, appoint as mod. All this tools are available when visiting a thread.
  • View and resolve post/comment reports. There is a new moderation section available in the main menu (hamburger menu). It will show the new unresolved reports count.
  • Show if an user is mod, admin or bot (A, M and Bot) next to username.
  • Highlight moderator distinguished comments
  • Show community moderators in community sidebar
  • Set the default feed on app start from settings (Settings-General)
  • View cross-posts of a post. While visiting a post, tap the 🔀 icon to view a list of cross-posts
  • Cross-post a post to a different community (Post menu, Share, Cross-post)
  • Show new comments counter since last visit
  • Show if a link is already posted when creating a post, and where.

    Have the moderation tools been tested for admin level moderation, or should I tread carefully on that side of things?

    Not sure if they work for admins, it hasn’t been tested or implemented

      Good to know thank you! I’d imagine admin level functions are a whole other challenge for devs making fediverse apps.

      I tried out this version and this is what I’m seeing for admin stuff:

      • On the desktop UI, Lemmy combines community mod reports and admin level reports into one feed. On Boost, I can see all the reports the same way, and so it’s consistent with the desktop interface. I’ll need to wait for more reports to come in to properly test it.

      • On desktop, admins can take mod actions on all posts. On Boost, I only see the button in posts from communities I moderate. I prefer this over how it works on desktop, since I think admins should limit their interventions to the communities they moderate (unless there is a serious problem).

      So as it is, Boost might already have the right level of support for admins. I can see reports, but I can’t accidentally cause larger issues. Important admin actions are more rare, and they should probably be done through the official desktop UI

        I think having a toggle to go into admin mode would be nice. I agree one shouldn’t be in admin mode all the time, but it’s convenient to have it handy when you need it.

        I often report posts just so I can easily find them in the UI to delete them, especially with the recent waves of CSAM trolls. If you see something deep in the comments of a post on page 50, it’s just annoying to find back through a different app just to perform an admin action. I don’t host any communities, so all the links Boost gives me go to the source instances, and it tends to loop back into Boost because of the link handlers.

          Good point yes :)

          I think it would also be helpful in general for Boost to give the home instance link instead of the foreign one (I think it currently does it by the poster’s/commenter’s instance?). It would help for things like this, or for sharing with friends so that they see the same thing you’re seeing
