Yeah, sorry about the run-on sentence title, but I hope you get what I’m saying
As a former reddit mod who’s made some communities here, so far they are 0% of the work of the reddit ones (not that I was working hard on the reddit communities, I set up automod and let it run). But so far I haven’t had to do any mod work here because there’s basically no spam and no bots. I’m sure that will change, but I can also just recruit more mods as the communities grow.
how recently were you a mod on reddit? I’ve been trying to raise discussions on various communities that I follow about a possible migration and I’m receiving a lot of indifference from the userbase. However, I feel like the mod userbase feels differently given the widespread blackout (many of these communities joined the blackout but it seems like a lot of their users are unaware or unconcerned with the changes.)
my question is do you think the mods are more sympathetic to migrating platforms?
I think it’s a mix, some places did a poll and it was like 30% of prople who use 3rd party apps, so it’s a minority that’ll be impacted, and disproportionatly mods because native modding tools suck.
r/HermanCainAward. All those stories of antivaxxers biting it are cathartic.
I loved that one!
That was me. I don’t really feel like modding. I was offered a few mod spots on reddit over the past 11 years, took up one or two, didn’t really enjoy it.
But if everyone feels that way, then lemmy can never reach critical mass. SO i bit the bullet, created a community and hopefully someone will be interested in modding if it ever grows big.
If anyone’s interested, I created maliciouscompliance (one of my favorite subs to lurk in). Mostly reposts for now, but OC should trickle in slowly.

If you need help modding it I’d definitely be willing to help out. It’s one of my favorite communities on Reddit
Thank you! (One of my favorites so glad it’s now here.)
You’re welcome!
I really appreciate the work and contribution of everyone here, to make this a great place. :)

Hey thanks for taking one for the team. I always love maliciouscompliance, so I’m glad we have it here now. Appreciate you!

I made one, https://lemmy.world/c/crtgaming, because I missed it on reddit and was worried that enough people had the same reservation. I’m hoping that by making it, other people will post there if they hadn’t otherwise been willing to start their own sub.
I’m not interested in moderating, but I’m also hoping that smaller communities like this are simple to mod.
Just do it anyway and randomly assign people who post there to be mods.
But is this not an evil move to do that? force responsibility on others?
Yes. I am mostly joking, but I don’t find it to be “that” serious of a crime.
But that’ll just scare everyone away! :S
Yes, I’m going to miss r/VXJunkies
I would try to set up a lemmy instance for VX but I can’t get the meta-combobulator to flange in sync :/
Yeah, unfortunately that does seem to be the problem. I’m not sure how to fix it without a meta-flange paradox stabilizer on the combobulator’s sync couplers. But I’ve no idea where to begin with that.
You don’t get the what to what?
The whole joke of /r/VKJunkied is to pretend everyone is into fiddling with a technology called VX, make up jargon and technical terms, and everybody plays along.
For now, I decided to make it myself. If anything to start gathering the useful resources I learned back on reddit. If anyone later on wants to take over ill happily give them the entire thing cause I dont wanna mod.
Literally in the same boat. I wanted the place to exist over here but I’ve never been a mod and don’t really have interest but for now I’m happy with me and my dead community. If it’s ever not dead I’ll have to figure out what to do.
I’m a huge sci-fi fan and love the idea of a sci-fi server with communities for books, tv shows, etc to rehouse places like r/scifi, r/TheExpanse and r/SiloSeries. But as dev as I am I don’t fancy running a server and being a super mod.

I’m just making shit I missed. Hope I’m not annoying with it, but it’s like if it ain’t there, put it there.
I started (like 2 hours ago) a Poetry community in my instance. I modded a few microscopic subreddits that never got any traffic, so I’m used to imposter syndrome as a moderator 😥
Yeah, the local ones like New Jersey or AITAH, but more importantly AskHistorians, AskScience, badHistory, etc
Yes. 1000% for some of the NSFW subs I used to enjoy
Ew.
You got my first downvote.
Oh, how I’ve missed seeing the number of downvotes.
That was one of the first changes I disliked that reddit forced down our throats. Seeing the actual totals (without the nonsense “vote fuzzing”) is much more engaging.
How dare somebody use adult content.
On this Christian site! The nerve! I need to Investigate it for research purposes
It’s times like this I appreciate that Reddit automatically hid low scoring comments
That’s also part of what made reddit a huge echo chamber. Enough downvotes and a post disappears from view. Sure it hides toxic posts, but it also hides dissenting opinions.
Honesty! EW!
