Perhaps this is already implemented on one of the Lemmy variants?
New features :
- auto closing/suspending stale communities
- stale could be defined as unanswered mod reports, no mod activity (no post, comment, login in x time period), no posts
- staggered new account permissions:
- wait 24h before commenting, wait 7 days before posting.
- allow community users to flag posts or comments as NSFW.
- Voting changes from up, down to up, down or NSFW.)
Curious what people think about this?
About closing stale communities, [email protected] has regular initiatives to handle inactive communities and redirect to active ones.
