Is Lemmy.World going to do anything about community squatting?

Is Lemmy.World going to do anything about community squatting? - Lemmy.world

A good example is https://lemmy.world/c/documentaries [https://lemmy.world/c/documentaries] One of their mods, https://lemmy.world/u/sabbah [https://lemmy.world/u/sabbah], currently mods 54 communites despite only being on Lemmy for about a month and has never posted on c/documentaries (except for his post asking for people to join his mod team). [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9c0be4b4-87b6-457d-8159-96d0ac519d87.png] The other mod, https://lemmy.world/u/AradFort [https://lemmy.world/u/AradFort], has one post to c/documentaries and moderates 18 communities. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2ae5cf3f-a6d9-4fb5-aa81-7c0a25fcf1d4.png] Does Lemmy.World have a plan to remove this kind of cancer before we start getting reddit supermods here too?

I’ve been trying to get an active mod to take over on the lemmy.world battlestations community, but despite my efforts posting in the lemmy.world support community which the admins have suggested doing for this exact issue there has been no change. lemmy.world/u/mandlar

In general I find it pointless for there to exist a million empty communities even when the creators have good intentions. Most of them are sub communities of a broader category which only serves to unnecessarily split a community while there is barely traffic in the broader topic. You shouldn’t make a more specific topiced community unless the subject you want to discuss is getting burried in overwhelming traffic of the broader community.

I requested !fire (Financial Independence/Retire Early, for those who don’t know.)

Moderation request - Lemmy.world

As per this comment [https://lemmy.world/comment/1392102] by @[email protected] [https://lemmy.world/u/antik], I’d like to request to mod this community.

Done

Thanks!

Now that I’m committed, I started looking around for inspiration to improve the community… and I’ve just realized that [email protected] exists and seems like it has effort being put into it, too. I haven’t entirely decided where I stand on the whole “splitting communities is better/worse than having one canonical community for each topic” issue, but at the moment I’m at least leaning towards wanting to cooperate or complement, rather than compete. If anybody has advice about how to mod in such a way as to produce the best outcome for everybody interested in the topic instead of just trying to steal that sub’s thunder, I’m all ears!

(Alternatively, if folks want a place to talk about actual combustion instead of personal finance, I guess that option could be on the table too…)

fortunately the fediverse is much more liquid than reddit so no one really knows honestly what it will look like in a year. Right now it’s going through rapid change, and I think there will be a sort of equalization that will happen eventually.

I was a mod early on in reddit’s creation and several subreddits used to group together and list each other each others sidebars to create an index of sorts. I think maybe having multiple communities across different servers, by the same name, but with different topics of interest could possibly serve to aid in more in depth discussions.

Hey, I guess the admins removed u/sabbah from top mod of c/worldnews because they permabanned people for disagreeing with their personal opinions…

Figured you might want to know the new mods added them back already because they think sabbah is good at “conflict resolution”

HELLO WORLD! - Lemmy.world

Hey everyone! I’m so excited to be the new top mod of this community. I’ve been a part of this community since the beginning, and I’ve seen how much it’s grown and evolved. I’m grateful to the previous top mod for creating this space, and I’m honored to be taking over. On Twitter, I’m @CantStopPoppin, and on Reddit, I’m u/CantStopPoppin. I’ve been active on both platforms for over 5 years, and I’ve always been a strong advocate for diversity, inclusion, and quality content. I’m planning to make a few slight changes to the community, but I want to get your input first. I want this to be a place where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their background or beliefs. That means that hate speech, racism, anti-LGBTQ+, and trolling will not be tolerated. I believe that our differences make us stronger together. We can learn from each other and create something truly special. I’m committed to listening to the community and working together to make this happen. I’ll be leaving this post unlocked for 72 hours so that you can share your thoughts and suggestions. I’ll also be going through the comments to answer any questions you may have. Here are a few specific things I’m thinking about changing: * I’d like to make the community more welcoming to people from all walks of life. This means being more inclusive of people from different cultures, religions, and LGBTQ communities. * I’d like to make the community more focused on quality content. This means promoting posts that are well-written, informative, and thought-provoking. * I’d like to make the community more active. This means encouraging people to participate in discussions and share their thoughts and ideas. I’m open to other suggestions, so please let me know what you think. I’m excited to work with you to make this community even better! A few things to note: * YouTube and Twitter will not be allowed in the community. Only legitimate news sources will be accepted. * There may be a “Pundit Tuesday” in the future, but not at this time. * Fox News local stations will be allowed, but their syndicated stations and talking heads will not be accepted due to their many dishonest reports and lawsuits. I’m excited to hear your thoughts! Thank you again for helping to create, nurture, and seed this community. I’m looking forward to working with you to make it even better! This post will stay unlocked for 72 hours for an AMA. I will try to answer as many questions as I can, but it may take some time. I hope to see you all in the comments!

Are we still doing old memes?

Sadly I don’t think we’ll outlive the usefulness of that meme…

Best of luck! It’s going to be a lot of work being an Admin on here, so I definitely appreciate you willing to be involved.
