So it’s probably time to add some moderators, not necessarily because things are out of hand or anything, but because I’d like someone to actually nurture this community like I don’t have time to. I’m talking about, for example, having regular pinned conversational live update threads, forming rules, all sorts of community building elements. On a lot of these it would probably be helpful to look at how the mod team over at r/Ukraine has handled things.
More specifically I’d really like to find someone Ukrainian who speaks the language to join the team, but that might be a bit much to ask at least in the short term.
Either way, consider this an invitation to apply if you think you’d be a good fit and you’d like to help nurture this community and help cleaning up spam and vile conduct. You’ll need to message here in the thread since I believe Lemmy works in funny ways and you promote people through comments.
I’d like to suggest some general rules.
Not sure yet how this (de)federations etc. works. But for example I checked lemmy. world and that guy use mastodon rules, which are kind of normal imo. I guess you could do something similar for the time being? until you’m find something better?
Just trying to help here, I have no personal interest in this stuff:.mastodon rules
I suppose others might offer similar or better alternatives?
