Guidelines

  • First of all, every community on Lemmy.world should follow the lemmy.world rules
  • Please create a sidebar with some contents, at least a description of the community and some extra rules when applicable
  • Adding a banner and icon for the community makes it prettier. Please do.
  • Every community needs enough moderators.

About moderators

Moderation is very important. This site needs to be a safe place for everyone. The more subscribers and posts, the more moderators you’ll need. Make sure you have moderators in all timezones, so if bad stuff is reported in your community, it doesn’t need to sit there until you’re off work… As the community grows, add even more moderators.

Reports

A moderator will receive reports for reported content in their community. (The admins will receive a copy of all reports in all communities). Please resolve the reports according to the site rules and community rules, as soon as possible. If reports are open for too long (more than 24 hours), the admins will contact the moderator(s). If this keeps happening, the moderators might be replaced.

These guidelines are under construction. Please check back after a few days, hopefully it’s more complete ;-)

    I’ve noticed some admin are moderating various communities but not necessarily moderating to the rules of the community. How does everyone feel about that?

      Could you give an example?

          I see what you mean. I will discuss this

            Thank You! Absolutely admins should enforce all TOS violations. For community rules related items working with the moderators would be beneficial.
