So it's probably time to add some moderators, not necessarily because things are out of hand or anything, but because I'd like someone to actually nurture this community like I don't have time to. I'm talking about, for example, having regular pinned conversational live update threads, forming rules, all sorts of community building elements. On a lot of these it would probably be helpful to look at how the mod team over at r/Ukraine has handled things.

More specifically I'd really like to find someone Ukrainian who speaks the language to join the team, but that might be a bit much to ask at least in the short term.

Either way, consider this an invitation to apply if you think you'd be a good fit and you'd like to help nurture this community and help cleaning up spam and vile conduct. You'll need to message here in the thread since I believe Lemmy works in funny ways and you promote people through comments.

On an offtopic personal note, it's the live update threads I miss the most.

My previous attempt at getting Reddit mods onboard was entirely ignored, but I suppose I'll try asking r/Ukraine. If I can get a senior mod from there active here then I'll defer further mod appointments to them. Otherwise I'll start picking.

I'd like to suggest some general rules.

Not sure yet how this (de)federations etc. works. But for example I checked lemmy. world and that guy use mastodon rules, which are kind of normal imo. I guess you could do something similar for the time being? until you'm find something better?

Just trying to help here, I have no personal interest in this stuff:.mastodon rules

I suppose others might offer similar or better alternatives?
