@Mastodon @Gargron I'm a bit confused about the explore tab. For trends it's possible to auto-approve them, so you don't need to manually do this. Because that costs a lot of time. It would be great if users can report trends, so moderators can act on that.

But posts (and news I presume, but I don't see any news posts yet) you need to manually approve. This can be very labour intensive. I don't think you can expect from moderators (mostly volunteers) to check every few hours if there are new posts. I think an auto-approve setting is very needed here. If the posts are problematic, users can report them. Right now it's to time consuming for us moderators. Actually I just approve them all, cause I don't have the time to individually check them.

The alternative would be to disable the explore tab all together using css.
