I have built an AutoMod bot for my instance, lemmy.basedcount.com. The bot covers the following features:
- Automated removal
- of posts, based on their title, content or link
- of comments, based on their content
- configurable with either regular expressions or substrings
- User whitelisting and exceptions for moderators to selectively lift some or all of the aforementioned rules for certain users.
- Mention based pinning and locking of a post, through commands exclusively available to the mod team
- Discord notifications for new registration applications through a webhook. [only for admins]
Naturally, the bot is completely open source. I have also written a rather comprehensive (albeit long-winded) documentation and some examples.
This project is mainly targeted towards admins of small instances, however anyone can spin up their own AutoMod instance for their favourite community (provided they are a moderator there).
The automoderator is also available as a Docker image, for ease of installation.Feel free to suggest any additional features that you might want to see added to this bot.
You must log in or register to comment.
bellissimo
Interesting. Thanks for this! Can it automatically post a reply or send a PM when something is removed explaining why?
Awesome! Thanks for all your work on this :).
What, treat the user like a human being? Are you mad?
It’s a big problem in how Lemmy handles removals. I currently have to send a PM to each person explaining why and where they can post instead (e.g., asking them to post tech support questions to !askandroid@lemdro.id instead of !android@lemdro.id).
Thankfully Photon makes it easier to do this in one step, but it doesn’t support managing multiple types of responses.
Great news!
