view subscriber list
Is there a way to view the subscriber list. I'm thinking there are some bots sitting on the sub. I would like to confirm. Thanks.
You're viewing a single thread.
Typically you can only see the subscriber count from your own instance. So even if you could see a list of all subscribers, I don't think there would be a practical way of seeing all subscribers.
I also don't think it would be right for mods to see subscribers. Why should you be able to? Do you want to ban people from reading your sub? That's not very reasonable.
Not at all. I understand what your saying. My intentions were strictly for bot monitoring. From what I'm getting at the functionality doesn't exist to view all the subscribers. Thanks.
Yeah I don't think it does, and like I say you would only be able to see subscribers in your local instance. Seeing subscribers from other instances would rely on that other instance actually sharing that information - while lemmy could be written to do this, there's never any guarantee that another instance is using pure lemmy code and not some modified version.
I don't think reddit ever had that capability either. Not for mods anyway, I'm sure admin could see that stuff.
In any case it would be very easy for bots to circumvent your monitoring - they simply would not subscribe, and instead just browse the community directly.
