    I’m biased, but Tesseract.

    Lemmy.World runs it at https://t.lemmy.world/ and they’re at the latest release version.

    It’s nice for users, but it’s made for mods/admins. Might take a bit to get the hang of, but pretty much everything you need to moderate is a few clicks away without leaving your current position. Making informed / contextual mod decisions is part of the process, and I tried to make that as accessible in Tess as I could.

    Uniquely, it lets you:

    • Ban/Unban a user from a community directly (without having to find a post/comment).
    • Ban/Unban from all your moderated communities at once
    • Shows the removal reason on comments in the comment section. If the comment was individually removed (i.e. has an entry in the modlog - as opposed to “ban with content removal”), it will populate the comment text for mods (Lemmy took that away sometime after 0.19.3 and mods can no longer see removed comments in their communities).
    • You can filter users so that you don’t see them elsewhere but they’re still visible in your communities. Better than the current implementation of Lemmy’s blocking since blocked users’ content is not visible to you in the communities you mod. This prevents that blind spot while also letting you hide content from filtered users elsewhere.
      • All filters are disabled for communities you mod in order to prevent blind spots.
    • View a reported comment in context without leaving the report (loads the comment thread in a modal)
    • Select multiple comments and perform a single mod action on them all (same action + reason + operation)
    • Lots of lookup tools available when viewing reports:
      • User’s overall modlog history
      • User’s modlog history in the community
      • View the creator’s submissions in the community (posts/comments) without leaving the mod modal
    • The community details/rules are also handy right there in the mod modal
    • Hell, the mod modal itself is basically an app unto itself.
    • All of that works on both desktop and mobile.
    • Probably a bunch I’ve forgotten about that I just take for granted

      Tesseract looks really nice
      Only downsides i see are:

      • Not a phone app (which is not that bad, there are options)
      • need the server to support it or selfhost

      And none of them sound like a problem to me

        Depends on your definition of “phone app”. I use it on my phone as an installed webapp (Add to home screen on iOS / Install on Android). Look and feel-wise, it’s indistinguishable from an “app” app. Only thing it lacks is system notifications (which may or may not be a dealbreaker for some).

        Lemmy World runs an instance of it, but it’s locked to .world.

        I run an unlocked hosted instance at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/ which is configured to allow login to any Lemmy server.

        Selfhosting is also an option; I believe it also works fine from localhost (there used to be issues uploading images, but I think that went away as of 0.19.0).

          Installed webapps it what i meant with options so its neat that we booth reached the same conclusion

          About localhost: at least in the readme there still is mention of image upload issues because of the cors handler

            Yeah, that’s me failing to update the readme. lol. Good catch.

            The CORS handler / upload proxy was removed completely a good while ago (I think in 1.4.0 when I dropped support for 0.18.x API). I’ll make a note to myself to clean up the readme.

        I also use it on mobile and have it installed as a web app. Firefox can occasionally be very finicky about which web apps are installable, but I had no issues with Tesseract. I assume on Chrome/etc it’s no problem at all.
