So it’s like the title says. I created this community to kinda fill the void from the reddit shutdown, and have no real idea on how to moderate a community like this, especially if it ends up huge like the one on Reddit.
Seeing as I have little moderation experience, if anyone is interested in moderating for this community just lmk and I’ll see about setting you up.
TL;DR - Created a potentially huge amount of work for myself that I’m super unfamiliar with.
I did the same, then was looking around for any mod tools, but I don’t really see any? Or any guides? Anywhere I should look for this? And can you give someone else mod rights ('cause I’d kind of like to, I just didn’t want the place to look like a ghost town)
Only way so far I’ve found to mod someone was on one of their comments.
A lot of the bots and things that made reddit much easier to mod just haven’t been developed yet for lemmy. Thosw bots are what makes losing the API bad in the first place. Someone needs to essentially develop an automod equivalent to moderate comments. If I have free time I plan to start working on something.
I would look at the rules of the sub on reddit, most of them exist for a reason. If you have questions, ask a mod, or someone else on lemmy/reddit. I mod on another reddit and lemmy account of mine.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions.
It’ll definitely be nice to see some of those tools come back. Godspeed in your development, good sir.
