Not a mod so far.

I dare you to start a community

Maybe not mods, but we're the ones most engaged with the community

Huh? I am not a mod, I am just an user of lemmy.world

Would you like to be? I have a NSFW community that will likely need extra help.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Haha thanks for the invite but I don't want to be a mod because it is just a lot of work. Good luck for your community tho 👍

I've thought about starting communities here but my interests seem too niche.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Start it anyway and just post images or guides from your interest.

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

Might as well go all Kevin Costner here I guess!

Just because you are into slugs in teal cravats it doesn't mean it is a niche as you think.

Rule 34 man, power to you

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

maybe I will finally meet My People!

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

I started a community but it's one that requires other people lmao

I got a couple lurkers but nothing else so far

I still don't understand how this site works. I sort by Active and get posts from 2 days ago, sort by hot and get posts from last week, and I sort by new to get 10 second old posts.

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

Your sorting is working properly. When you sort by active, you’ll get posts that people are actively commenting on. When you sort by hot, you’ll get posts that lots of people are looking at, and when you sort by new, well, those are the new posts… so 10 seconds seems about right.

It works the same on Reddit. It’s just that there’s a lot more users, a lot more engagement and a lot more overall content over there.

I guess I technically mod a community with one post (mine) and 2 subscribers (me and somebody)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That's how it starts! 🤣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I started /r/LaborWave as a joke and like 100 people deep REAL communists showed up thinking it was supposed to be a serious platform for their message. lol

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

I got 2 posts (both mine) and 4 subscribers (including me) 👀

Am I doing well??

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

I was. Then deleted the whole shebang. I rather write idiot comments than be in charge of anything, especially my own personal blog. I'm not interested in any particular niche that you can come chat about tbh. I am, but not really. I just like using lemmy as a journal lol same way I used reddit. But I do appreciate something when I see it. I love the small self starter vibe, and I can sort by all and interact with everything and entertain myself.

Never been a mod and currently not a mod
