Ime once an online community starts to get traction, keeping things civil often requires some automation.
There doesn’t seem to be any mention of automod functionality on https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html. And, while there are a few issues in the Lemmy GitHub repo about moderation, there’s currently nothing about a bot.
the API documentation exists, which could be a good start: https://join-lemmy.org/api/
Thanks for the link.
It would be great to have some webhooks built into the server, so that bots wouldn’t have to constantly poll for new posts and comments. That would also make it possible to remove unwelcome content (spam, etc) before it’s viewable by users.
