On Reddit, Subreddits have a “Modmail” feature that allows users to message all subreddit moderators at once, and moderators can respond collaboratively.

Should Lemmy consider potentially implement something similar, for Communities?

Even a basic version — like leveraging the already existing DM feature to have a Group DM that automatically includes all moderators and the user who sent the message — could help improve communication between users and community mod teams.

This could just use Lemmy’s existing DM system but adapted for group messages tied to the mod team of a specific community.

Later on, if this proves to be successful, it could potentially be tweaked even further, and have support for Modchat, via the same Group DM as the potential Modmail.

    Yeah, probably. The other side of “this is so badly needed why haven’t you done it for us” is “if this is so badly needed why haven’t any of the server admins or mods implemented it yet.”
