This community is for discussions specific to the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, but it seems like we get lots of comments from other instances who have no real stake in the matter. I imagine the vast majority are well-meaning people who just don’t really understand federation well yet and don’t understand they’re commenting on a totally different instance’s internal matter.

I wonder if it would be possible to make this community read-only for non-Blahaj Zone accounts? And if it’s possible, does anyone else (on this instance 😉) think it’s a good idea?

    I think its a good idea. Blåhaj-specific decisions should be blåhaj only. Perhaps have some sort of tag that can be added to a post that opens it up to all instances in case an issue is blåhaj specific but impacts other instances as well.

    Im curious, is there any sort of automod functionality for lemmy? If so id imagine it would be easy to check the instance a user belongs to and if its not blåhaj respond with a generic message and remove the comment.

    Edit: or perhaps turn it on its head and have a tag saying a post is for blåhaj internal discussion only, with the default being an open-for-all space?

    Another edit: i found a bot¹ that fully implements the lemmy api, which ostensibly means it could be used as an automod. Its not server-side, so it has to operate as a normal user.
