Could Lemmy be used as a classroom tool (like having a classroom's own instance) (lemmy.world)

I feel like it would be an interesting learning tool cuz I learn a ton on here and it gets me writing without anyone having to hold a gun to my head. I mean like even essay-length or at least essay-worthy treatments of things I respond to in longer-form, and even for the shorter-form stuff

As an educator who has only ever worked with Moodle,
I agree that Canvas has better UX. I can't imagine another platform being as terrible to use in 2023 as Moodle lmao

Can you comment on Lemmy's suitabillity in this context?

Not really? It's a programming class with automated assignment submissions and grading, I don't see a lot of overlap with Lemmy's feature set for the kind of thing I'm doing.
