    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

            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.

              Exactly. Ok sure, so somebody said something either not popular or a bit stupid, but “filtering” them out is equally stupid, if not more. You promote echo chambers that way.

        • @scutiger

          71 year ago

          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.

  • @realitista

    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?

      • @Darorad

        21 year ago

        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.

    I miss my cat subs. The bigger ones like OneOrangeBraincell, StandardIssueCats, and VoidCats.

    And some of the specific ones like Sploot, Toolps (reverse of sploot for the unintiated), KittyCankles, ScrungyCat,

    NamFlashbacks. Mainly because my I took new pictures of my cats and wanted to post them there.

        The “aww” site can be found/subbed by searching on your account’s server for: [email protected]

        **Example: **I’m on lemmy.world so if I go to: https://lemmy.world/search and enter the “!” string above it finds me a link that once clicked presents me with a “Subscribe” button.

          Ok I figured it out. So from my community blahaj, I subscribed to aww. Then in blahaj I create a new post and search for the aww community. And it worked. Give it a try!

    They wouldn’t let me onto Beehaw with the answer I gave to their question, so I joined the first instance I could find that looked interesting. Now I kind of feel awkward making any new communities that aren’t Star Trek related lol.

    • @Mojo @KahunaDaKine on the same page, was initially bummed out my account didn’t get approved, guess my answer was poo lol. But then I remembered I can use my Mastodon account to comment. I just can’t create post or downvote them.
      Favoriting counts as a upvote though.

      So I’m basically a lurker now lmfao! (ʘ‿ʘ)

        try lemmy.world - it’s big, it allows community creation and downvoting, and allows NSFW. And signups are open.

        I joined because I thought it was the most unrestricted and versatile in terms of rules.

        Fun fact! You can make posts from Mastodon to Lemmy. If you search the community on Mastodon, e.g. [email protected], you can @ the account that should show up with whatever you want to post, and it will show up here!

      I’m on my phone so I don’t want to this second, but will comment as a reminder to myself, I’ll start a Plex community if one doesn’t exist by the time I get there. The sub on Reddit wasn’t very active but was good for small bits of things people figured out or bitching about the newest feature that isn’t one everyone wanted lol.

    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 😥

    Yes. In my two or three days, I’ve considered making multiple, but then I remember I’d be defacto mod, and I calm down. Maybe later, but probably wait for the actual mods of those subs to make the community here.
