Fuck it, I’ll do it. I’ve never moderated anything in my life, but I’m mildly interested in the idea.
Alright, you are now a mod. Good luck!!
Wait what do I do? Is there a mod manual somewhere?
that’s what you get for being mildly interested in something 😂
Efff
There's not much to do really. On the web, you'll see a little pencil icon near the community name, which lets you change things (ex. Sidebar text, images, settings).
It's up to you how you want to do things. I'd recommend adding a description to the sidebar for what you want to see in the community, and any relevant rules. People in your community will need to follow those rules, as well as the rules for the lemmy.world instance (ex. Think local laws vs. national laws), so you don't need to cover everything.
No shame in copying rules from other places, such as the Reddit equivalent, when you're not sure.
Day to day, you'll see reported content in the mod page (little shield icon up top) and if you want to remove a post you need to open the comments and then find the button for it.
@[email protected] I'm happy to help out while the community is cleaned up again (if you guys want more help), but I probably won't stick around since I think Jimbabwe can handle it :)
Alrighty then. I’m on it. Prepare to be mildly amused, lemmy
I'm ready 🫡
If you get really stuck, you can likely add those other volunteers here and they can help you.
Alright, I've added you as a mod. It's fairly easy and we can help you out if you have questions or run into any issues. We also have a good Discord/Matrix group to help out if you run in to any issues. The Discord and Matrix are connected so you can use whichever you are more comfortable with.
Whoever takes it on should also add in some rules. A number of the posts (while interesting) are not relevant to the community
Were they too interesting? We can’t have that!
Count me in please!
I'll throw my hat in the ring. If you need another.
I have a bunch of experience here and back on reddit.
You are now a part of the mod team!
Awesome. Let's get mildly interested in this.
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
