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 ;-)

Ngl, I have no idea what I'm doing, and I am absolutely afraid to be in a position of any type of perceived power. Here's to figuring it out!

When in doubt, ask yourself: am I being a power hungry asshole? If you are, stop doing that thing 😅

I was never a mod on Reddit, but I was around that site for a very long time. I've seen plenty of examples of both good and bad moderation. I'm still new to figuring this out for myself, but I have a pretty good idea how to conduct myself.

And if I make a mistake I just say "oopsie poopsie" like I'm a simpleton /s
