You have to create the pos,t then, after it is created, navigate to the post you just made, then you have options to sticky it. You can't make a post and at the same time sticky it. Source: A hard working moderator that actually does this shit twice a week. Also, I'm voting myself first in my class for doing and knowing about this bullshit because I do it twice a week to: 1) have a weekly discussion topic 2) poll my community about what they'd like to discuss next week. I must confess it's a bitch. Would be really nice if they could make a thingy for moderators to create the post and make it stick all in one gesture. Just because, you know, when you moderate on here enthusiastically for the first time and you're not a power mod asshole from Reddit (like me, I never moderated on Reddit and never wished to moderate anything) like, it would actually encourage more people to moderate on this instance. I got no help over here because it's 1980s tech superimposed on the internet.

This is gold! Thank you.
Great! Thank you. I had trouble navigating. I get it now.
LMAO what’s the fun in that? Much better to be the drunk ass mod who was removed as a mod and just navigate the town. Netflix series are made of this. I’m never giving up this userid. It is me. I might even gat more popular with the Reddit people. I can be that sexy guy that just came out of jail. Like on Netflix. Or Amazon prime.
Honestly, one day I might get bored and drunk and just post all kinds of awful things all over and violate the guidelines for moderators. I’ll be forcibly removed. This really can happen because I’m not against it and not opposed to getting ripped off my ass and getting fired for a job that isn’t actually a job. Will I miss being a moderator? No. Will I care much? No. Watch me to learn how to be just a moderator and not be some creeper in his mom’s basement with no life aged 35 or something. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get banned as a moderator for saying exactly what I’ve just said because I’ve been so not thinking about the code of conduct or the rules of this community. My whole self value is not invested in this. I’m into other things and have an actual life. I also like to drink booze.
Umm accountable. Held accountable. You chopped it off there. And I like being held accountable. Fire me any time you like for any reason. Not like I’m actually doing anything special.
I was never a moderator on Reddit or on any other platform and fell into the role here. Quite happily, actually, because when you do it right and delete people’s posts and they ask why because your pithy explanation in the modlog is too pithy and you explain the rules, the poster is grateful at best and at worst is slightly irritated by the rules, whether that be the Lemmy.world Code of Conduct or the community rules. The nice thing here I think is that moderators are accountable to rules and the admins. We can’t just subject people to whatever bot or whatever whim or whatever bot we whimsically put out. We actually moderate I thought this little job was going to be irritating. It isn’t. I really like it because we talk to each other. There is a public modlog. I love this! All mod actions I take are accessible to the users. It’s amazing and I love being a moderator here because everything is so transparent. It’s real moderation that is fair and helps the users. I don’t think any moderator on Reddit would ever like it here. I mean, really, every move you make as a moderator is available for the world to see. Reddit does not have this. Probably why it can’t turn a profit. Moderators here are held accountable and I am so glad to be held accountable.
I used to make comments like this and stopped a month ago because peeps hated me saying this or got argumentative with me. Look at you now! LMAO
What is a community? Recommended reading: Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson.
I’m torn. This looks like a useful website, but the features described in the post summary are actually locked behind a pay wall. Help me moderate. Is this an ad or a user genuinely enthusiastic about a web site they 12ft laddered? Obviously, OP, I don’t need or want your input, unless you 12ft laddered the hell out of it.
Yeah, it sucks, in other words. Like I just said.
