Is this allowed? Feel like id be avoiding some rules by doing this on Reddit. I've always loved offtopic comment sections, people seem to lock them as they get interesting.

!newcommunities@lemmy.world is probably another good place to promote it

I've been looking for a Fediverse equivalent to uneddit. Something to restore comments removed by powertripping mods. Your community seems to be on a parallel track.

It could be simple to design since you can have the content federate in and then ignore the removals. That's one of the risks of posting on federated places since there's always a chance that some instance won't respect deletions.

However, if such a tool was made, it might be good to have it be text only and/or hidden behind a login screen. The vast majority of content I remove is spam, and occasionally gross. I wouldn't want that stuff to still be out there polluting the internet

Yeah I'm gonna try to make a bot to automate it, but ill probably not finish that lol, hopefully someone more competent than me decides they want to do it after seeing it lol

Well, since your original thread on fediversememes was locked because of going "wildly offtopic" (which probably is true lol).. I don't see how allowing people to do offtopic commenting in a different community on a different server might be "avoiding rules".

Only problem might arise if it will be used for "unlocking" on the same server, and the admin team has a problem with it. But chances of that are probably low on lemm.ee :)
