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.

Mandler has not been active in a month. If you want any of the communities make a post there, tag me and I will add you as a moderator.

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.
