There a reason limiting the number of communities one can create and moderate is a good thing.
For communities, that's 15 to 30, and especially for popular ones (ranging from >50,000 subscribers, depending on the instance), 5
For moderating other communities that OP did not create, preferably 5 to 15.
That also means: no more powermods.
That also means: no more powermods.
Would that really stop it though? Anyone motivated enough would use multiple accounts.
I can't imagine moderating more than 3-4 popular communities, or 6-10 lower activity niche ones. That's assuming I had a ton of free time to do so too!
It is not against the rules or anything, but we will definitely keep an eye on it. Thanks for reporting it to us!
This is a good way to acquire βlegitβ power mod status.
Step 1: make an alt account which squats on community names
Step 2: have the alt account post open moderator requests on the communities
Step 3: have your alt appoint your normal account as a moderator. Since your normal account doesnβt have a direct connection to the community creation, itβs just seen as a helpful custodian of the fediverse
Step 4: ???
Step 5: profit
My yarn and pushpin budget is too high already, I don't need this kind of encouragement to seek out more ulterior motives and sneaky shenaniganery.
Good point though.
Hey @comcreator here
It is not against the rules to create a community. And I invite people to help moderate these communities and try to get 3-5 people moderating them, I will step down and hand it over once others take them over.
I not here to get power, I want to create communities so they exist, so content can start appearing in them. Many people do not create communities they want to see since they have the responsibility to moderate them.
I even try to contact moderators on reddit asking if they wish to moderate or even take over communities I created on lemmy.
I started !firo@lemmy.world and now no longer control it. Same goes for !antarctica@lemmy.world and !archiving@lemmy.world.
If you wish to help moderate, leave a comment in any of my communities.
Lets make Lemmy great and full of content!
This is actually a very good point, most people here don't create communities they just go "oh well that community from Reddit doesn't exist" so it makes sense to create a community and hand it off to others since people who might otherwise want one aren't.
Honestly I think it's a good thing that someone is willing to take the first step and make these communities exist and hand them off to people who has the time and passion to moderate efficiently, because Lemmy does need content if it's going to succeed. Not just the popular "haha" communities but niche ones as well.
@youtube@lemmy.world is also doing the same.
That person looks like they might be a Brand name squatter, they have Communities that don't really make any sense at all i.e. Pepsico and American Express, seems like those would be more valuable to advertisers than to users.
