Hello everyone,

There has been some discussions lately about the moderation of some LW communities (see !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for details)

Which made me think that we currently don’t have any active LW mod, the only remaining one being @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev

So why would we not consider moving this community to another instance?

For people curious why moving the community to another instance would be beneficial:

  • LW has a 7-days delay with instances like aussie.zone (https://feddit.uk/post/18336398)
  • Having most of the instances on LW give a lot of power to the LW admins and mods, while spreading them out could be more ideal from a power distribution perspective
  • Previous communities have already migrated successfully, like !casualconversation@lemmy.world

Instances option

Alternatively, https://lemmy.zip/ is very well run

They regularly post very detailed updates on !home@lemmy.zip such as this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300

They also offer very detailed information on those pages:

    Hello,

    Thank you for chiming in!

    I also recall we advertised for more mods recently and didn’t get much response, so really what we need is a very active mod willing to build up this community.

    Indeed, I didn’t volunteer as I already mod quite a few. Also, active members can help building the community without having to be mods.

    If moving to another instance is the best way to do that, great.

    Cheers!
