I like posts to be properly tagged, but sometimes I don’t have the time. An idea would be to have an auto-assigned role so that 20% of users who spend the most time in a community gain the ability to curate post tags, improving discovery of old posts.
To further incentivize tagging, consider adding a leaderboard that tracks and rewards users for their tag curation efforts—highlighting top contributors each day, week, month and year.
You could just make a “trusted users” role for comms for this
No leaderboards
What’s the procedure for this trusted users role?
Just to be clear, I think Skavau is proposing an idea, not talking about a feature that currently exists within PIeFed.
Overall, more fine-grained roles and permissions are a recurring topic that has come up in discussions. That is both among the developers and with other instance admins. I think being able to make some users be able to take some actions like clean up/assign flair or edit wiki pages without being given all the moderator powers would be a big improvement.
The really hard part of this comes when you introduce federation. You both need to give a user the ability to do the thing and also allow other instances to recognize that they have the permission to do that thing, or else their actions will not federate.
Thanks for sharing. I think this is an exciting idea.
