Thanks. Not nearly as many as I'd hoped there would be though
Moderators are deeply invested in staying put. Sunk costs are incredibly difficult not to chase. The fact that any moved is kind of incredible.
You'll have to wait for them to get tired of reddit's antics, in the meantime all we can do is create and make content for lemmy and kbin so that more people join us
Give them time to give up on reddit and learn how fed works.
I'm guessing kbin doesn't have the same level of mod tools as reddit yet
Not yet. Most popular Fediverse platforms are a little light in mod tools. The space is dominated by Mastodon, which has an infamously stubborn "dictator for life" lead dev who has not taken moderation beyond server bans and defederation. The tools have leaned toward individual responsibility, which when you consider that the lead dev was the admin of the largest instance with zero mods for years makes a lot of sense.
Most other platforms gaining traction are still trying to reach feature parity with Mastodon in some regard, as development had either slowed due to lack of community support and is just picking up steam again, or have suffered from similar "dictator" issues.
We really need things like temp bans (which I think are available on lemmy, at least at then server level), higher granularity restrictions on posting, shadow bans, the ability to lock comment chains (and not just entire posts), and maybe something like comment disemvoweling to act as a middle ground between leaving a comment or post up and removing it entirely.
