I have built an AutoMod bot for my instance, lemmy.basedcount.com. The bot covers the following features:
Automated removal
of posts, based on their title, content or link
of comments, based on their content
configurable with either regular expressions or substrings
User whitelisting and exceptions for moderators to selectively lift some or all of the aforementioned rules for certain users.
Mention based pinning and locking of a post, through commands exclusively available to the mod team
Discord notifications for new registration applications through a webhook. [only for admins]
Naturally, the bot is completely open source. I have also written a rather comprehensive (albeit long-winded) documentation and some examples.
This project is mainly targeted towards admins of small instances, however anyone can spin up their own AutoMod instance for their favourite community (provided they are a moderator there).
The automoderator is also available as a Docker image, for ease of installation.
Feel free to suggest any additional features that you might want to see added to this bot.
I’m probably not using this yet, given the target (admins of small instances), but this looks really cool, and I hope that it becomes more helpful for non-admin moderators.

What about automod warning the human mods to review potentially problematic content, without necessarily removing the content by itself?
I’m saying this because, while automatic removal is a good way to deal with spammers, less so for rule-breaking humans.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
