Looking for Moderators (lemmy.ml)

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

What does moderation involve? How much time, and what sort of activities would someone be expected to perform?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Right now, there isn't a lot. It's just if something off topic or blatant advertising goes in. Users so far are pretty decent but with more mods, we can respond quicker. This request was more preemptive to remove the bus factor or holiday lag.

Check mod log to see actions so far (not a lot).

navigating to this community from programming.dev, i see that there are only 73 subscribers. Clicking on your link get take to a page that says 6.27k subscribers. Any idea why there is a discrepancy in. Is something with federation going wonky?

seeing a community from another instance shows the amount of subscribers from that instance. Only the original instance shows the total

so 73 people from programming.dev subbed to this community

Looks that way. Often you can get hundreds of upvotes for the most engaging content which wouldn't happen without the thousands of subscribers.
