    Either that, or you create an account on the communities home instance and give it mod privileges too, and that way you won’t ever get caught short by federation issues, blocking etc.

    Shouldn’t you be taking pictures of birds though, haha.

    Soon! It’s Friday evening here, but I’ll be out again this weekend :)



  • Ideally, it wouldn’t be either of those things.

    Trans communities for example, Closeted trans folk benefit from people being able to see trans communities and browse them, and just lurk before they post or before they’re ready to join a private community.

    Yet at the same time, sometimes, members have questions that really only other trans people can answer. And there is no problem with other folk seeing it or even engaging with the content, but once it hits all, the ratio of useful answers goes down. So being able to just stop some posts from hitting all, without otherwise locking them down would be a nice option


  • Blahaj zone doesn’t do downvotes, so that side of being visible on /all is a non issue. The only thing that really seems to be an issue is that we will get the odd post intended specifically for members of the community that get visibility in /all, and a bunch of non helpful/irrelevant replies.

    I think it would be nice to be able to make some posts “community members only”, but other than that, I generally think communities are helped by the increased of exposure that comes from /all
