Moderators Wanted - Lemmy.World

I’ve removed pretty much every moderator besides the one who replied to my post [https://lemmy.world/post/7328020?scrollToComments=true] the other day and the new one I’ve added this week. - If you’re one of the former moderators that was removed and want to be added back, again, reply here. I tagged you all 4-5 days ago and received no replies so I’ve assumed you have all either moved on from LW or do not want to moderate here any longer. - If you’re a user here that has time to clean up shitposts, off-topic nonsense, and keep threads clean(ish) feel free to reply. For the time being stream links are still allowed to be posted until I get cracked down on by someone else for it, so whoever is added you are not required to delete these at this time.

Possible merge with c/world, thoughts? - Lemmy.World

Over the past week or two, I’ve been discussing merging this community with c/world. The intents and purposes of both of these communities are essentially the same, and we don’t really see a reason to divide that community rather than just put it all under one roof. We’re open to any and all opinions on this, and nothing is set in stone so please feel free to reply candidly. Please speak up especially if you feel like: 1. You wouldn’t like this for really any reason 2. You feel this community already serves a different purpose 3. You feel this community could serve a different purpose, and include what changes you’d like to see to meet that goal. I work with the head mod of c/world, @[email protected] [https://lemmy.world/u/YoBuckStopsHere], on c/NFL and talk to him regularly, we’re both pretty much on the same page about everything and moderate communities in a similar manner, so if your only reservation would be possible stricter or different moderation, I hope that alleviates some of the concern. All of the mods from here would also be welcome to join over there if we do merge.

Game Threads - Lemmy.World

Hey everyone, welcome back. Between the end of last season and now we had a bot that was working for gamethreads, but it’s since stopped working and the owner is not really interested in getting it working again. If anyone is capable of setting up another bot or has a working bot for game threads please contact me. If not, I am looking to add moderators that are willing and able to get up game threads. On c/nfl we tried threads for every game and it simply isn’t populated enough to have that many threads and everyone decided to just do a Thursday/Sunday/Monday thread. What does everyone think about maybe a weekly thread for all of the games or would you prefer game threads for each individual game? (if you check NFL and see an “NFL bot” account posting the game threads, it was supposed to be a bot, but we couldn’t get it going and log in and post them manually from it).
