What exactly does modding entail? There are so many subs from Reddit that I'd like to see replicated here, and I'd like to try to "be the change I want to see" but I don't really know what sort of commitment it is to set up and moderate a community.
With large communities it can be quite a commitment. But, with smaller communities like this it mainly entails keeping an eye on mod reports (notifications) and enforcing the rules by deleting rule-breaking comments, issuing warnings, blocking unruly users, etc. It can also entail using periodic discussion posts and adding/removing rules to foster more engagement. This might sound like a lot but it's pretty much what you make it.
The main thing is just enforcing community rules and adding/removing rules when necessary. And if it becomes too much for them, individual mods are always welcome to resign
Gonna sneak in with an interest then! Is there some sort of application or is the pure intent already enough to become part of the team? :D
No application! In a couple days I'll be looking through users who are interested. Just looking at engagement, interactions, age of accounts, etc. So if you have a reddit account you can link to that would be helpful but overall nothing rigorous. We're a small community after all :)
I'd like to keep my Socials apart from eachother if possible, but I have been on reddit for 7 years^^ I will also try to be active on lemmy but I still have to get used to the User Interface here, is kind of difficult as of right now, haha
