A suggestion: you should require people to answer some type of sign up application questions to be a member. Otherwise trolls WILL use your instance to harass people.
Yea please. Having that filter will also help you get into other instances' allowlists ;)
@Thann@lemmy.ml lemme know if you enable it so I can add you to my allowlist
Yeah... =/
I set it to "require application" because there is no UI index of users; I cant really keep track of users and if they're trolling other instances.
That's very good already! Now that bans federate properly, things are a bit easier. I recommend you put a big notice letting people know of the report feature, so that you quickly get notified of abuses. You should also join the "Lemmy Instance Admin Chat" room (listed on the space I believe) to share info with other admins :D
Good luck with your instance and thank you for adding another node to the network!
How does that prevent anything?
