The modlog is such a great feature of lemmy.
1,000% agree. Almost as if it's designed to be used by a community of people working together and not by a ruling class deciding what's permissible and nonpermissable for the peasants who are blessed to exist on their server 🙂.
This transparency does come with the side effect of shattering the hope that moderators in the lemmyverse are any better than those on any other part of the Internet though. It's the same little lords ruling over their little fiefdoms.
That just being human. It sucks but it's universal. Look at the police, politics (local and national), HOAs, churches, etc.
That's why all fiefdoms in the Holy Aggregator Empire of Upvote Nation have joined the Schengen Agreement
Too bad it doesn't do its job of holding mods accountable yet. Look at the mod log and you still see plenty of mods and admins removing valid posts for wrongthink.
Yep. The rules are so vague that the mods get to decide what breaks the rules based on what they personally dislike.
That's the users job not the platform.
I don’t think it’s available in voyager, which is afaik the only extant iOS app that’s not in beta. I miss it
Mlem is still under constant development (source: am Mlem developer), but Voyager is the most feature-complete at the moment by far. I don’t know of any other iOS clients still in development. Unfortunately Memmy’s development seems to have halted :(
I saw that on the list, but I thought “in development” was the step before beta testing- can you already use mlem?
I miss liftoff :(
Mlem has been out of beta testing for a while; it’s available on the App Store. It offers all of the Lemmy features that the average user would use, except for post searching. It doesn’t yet support moderation/administration features.
Although the app is fully out, we still improve it over time by releasing feature updates every few months (we’re planning to release an update this week, actually). That’s what I mean when I say “in constant development”.
It’s vital that a Lemmy client has at least one active developer. When a new version of Lemmy is released, “breaking changes” are often included. These changes by the Lemmy developers require the client developers to modify their apps to support the new system. If there aren’t any developers left to make those modifications, the app can stop working.
To gauge whether an app is still being developed, you can take a look at their GitHub/GitLab page. It tells you how recently the source code of the app was last modified. Voyager and Mlem both had changes less than a day ago, whereas Memmy hasn’t been touched for several months.
What happened to Liftoff? I’m out of the loop
Thank you!
Liftoff was never updated to version 19, so it still has the logout problem and it doesn’t load posts well anymore :(
I’d prefer an app in development!
