They can, if they read the manual. Mods can’t, but instance admins can.
Yes. If you use arcane commands using the docs that are in a pull request that is not yet merged. This is not accessible to many instance admins and it is only “technically supported” which is the worst kind of support from my point of view.
It’s a basic curl command, that shouldn’t be “arcane” if you’re setting up a server.
This is the equivalent of saying that any instance admin needs to know how to use curl while most people have never used a commandline. Not only that but you need machine access to know the api key which I would wager instance admins do not necessarily have.
I think this is the result of not prioritising work that makes moderation possible by non-technically inclined people and it is genuinely a failure of the system.
The priorities of development on Lemmy are decided by developers and the people who are not are simply pushed away. Most community leaders and moderators are not developers. The mental gymnastics to justify this lack of tooling is tiring.
