Hello everyone,

I joined this community yesterday because I stumbled upon a comment somewhere saying that it was inactive. I tried to post a bit, the posts gained some traction, it seems that you guys already have enough people to get the ball rolling.

Unfortunately, I’m already busy with posting to content to a few others of my communities, so if I may, I suggest that a few of you step in to moderate, and take some actions such as update the sidebar with other relevant communities, reach out to those communities to get your own community listed, cross-post relevant content, organize weekly threads, post some content every day, etc.

I say from the sidebar that @hsl@wayfarershaven.eu is the other mod, but I know from personal experience that he’s already quite busy with moderating !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

That’s all for me, I hope you guys have a good day/evening/whatever it is on your side of the world!

Edit: The only requirements to do the jobs are the following

  • being willing to help the community grow
  • check if your current app/website interface supports mods tools (some of them do, but I don’t know exactly which ones)
  • timezones are quite flexible, the community is still small
  • in terms of security, just don’t use a very easy to guess password, and make sure you have an email address configured to reset your password if you ever got compromised (but to fair that’s not that different from what you might already be doing)

    Yeah, I have noticed, that most of the people on lemmy are pretty good. There isn’t too much need to moderate the content. Ask Lemmy is probably one of the largest community on lemmy right now, it makes sense that it needs more time.
