Meta (lemm.ee)

Hello everyone! Ella here,

I’d like to preface this post by thanking each and every one of our users for being here with us. Over the past year, lemm.ee has seen slow but very steady user growth. Our goal of being a general purpose, accessible instance for anyone wanting to use the fediverse the way they see fit, has largely been achieved to date.

However with that success comes an increase in administrative burden. This is reflected primarily in delays approving applications, delays in responding to requests on our support forum, and slow response to some reports.

In an effort to combat this, we are looking to bring on two new admins, who’s primary duties will consist of reviewing incoming applications and reports.

Note we will be making decisions on this gradually, with input from the entire existing admin team.

Please be aware that being an admin is unfortunately quite a thankless job - if you’re doing your job well, then most people won’t even realize you’re doing anything. OTOH, if you make mistakes, there will likely be many users calling you out in public. The main motivation for joining the admin team would need to be a desire to help build and maintain this instance as a great home for yourself and others.

If there is anybody who would be interested in helping out even despite the above disclaimer, please DM me with the following info:

• On a typical day, during what hours are you active on lemm.ee (with timezone info)
• Do you have any previous experience with moderation/administration
• Are you in agreement with the current state of the lemm.ee administration policy.
