On Reddit, many subreddits have configurable requirements like minimum account age and karma before users are allowed to post or comment.
If a user doesn’t meet the criteria, they receive an automatic message like:
___
Your post/comment has been removed as your account does not meet the karma and/or age requirements of this sub.
Your account must be older than _____ days and have more than ________ combined karma to post here.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
___
Do you think Lemmy should consider adding similar options for community moderators — such as requiring a minimum amount of local or federated karma, and/or minimum account age — before a user can post or comment in a community?
Would this help reduce spam or low-effort posts, or would it go against the spirit of open discussion that Lemmy encourages?
