I'm willing to help, for now. I don't want to mod (or own) a huge sub, if this Lemmy thing ever gets to that point.

MODERATORS
You're a mod now.
Okay. Anything in particular I should watch for?
Anything you'd consider SPAM or irrelevant to the team, feel free to remove and block the account from the community. Trolling posts will eventually show up and you can lock or remove those posts as you see fit. If you moderate more than one community, the moderator view is helpful.
Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out. I'll check that moderator view, I've seen it but haven't looked closely at it.
Just want to say that I appreciate you guys putting in the effort to mod. I was hoping for a few years to see a caps community here, but I never started anything because I thought I would be the only one posting (I still think that this easily could have been true my first three years here), but more than that I just didn't want the responsibility for that if something did get going.
I can help as well if you need another body on the roster.
You're a mod now.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I know it's not technically the right place, but as someone who's been subbed here since the beginning and only just now saw a game night post, what can I do to make sure these posts float up to the top? Is there any view method that will highlight smaller communities like this?
The scaled sort can help with that, so can using the subscribed view.
But if you're interested in gameday stuff you may have to visit the community's url directly on gameday to upvote it for it to be come visable in the feeds of other community subscribers. So go ahead and bookmark it.
Gotcha, thanks. I didn't know about the scaled sort, so I'll give that a go. Is there any kind of effort to make sub-lists of communities? I've been debating just making more accounts to follow only niche communities, and then leave the shitposts/memes to other accounts
I think that's a ways out for the current web UIs. I think some of the mobile apps do it, but I don't use any of them.
I have multiple accounts set up for that reason. If you use a different instance for each one you can switch between accounts by simply visiting the URL of that instance. Works out pretty nicely for me.
