I’m test driving #kbin for public groups.
Like #Friendica, /kbin can ban trolls from participating in groups.
Unlike Friendica, you can remove posts local to where the group is hosted.
Unfortunately, the offending comments still appears in user timelines because other Fediverse servers do not delete after comments are removed locally.
Another alternative could be #Calckey which supports groups through “Channels”. However these do *NOT* federate.

> I’m test driving #kbin for public groupsIs Lemmy useful for this? Apparently John Mastodon has finally decided to add group support, so watch this space…

Lemmy communities certainly can serve as groups across the fediverse. I don’t know what moderating features the admin of a community gets though. Worth finding out.
@strypey @atomicpoet @fediversenews
So the #Lemmy docs cover the essentials. Seems pretty good. A community has moderators specific to that community, who can also moderate over federation from another instance!
Also, it seems a user can be locked out from a specific thread without being banned from the community.Creating a new community is open to all lemmy to and following one subscribes you to the group like with friendica (just in case you didn’t know)

I’ve posted a question about this on @asklemmy here, which might attract some more details: https://lemmy.ml/post/1012205
