Hello! We’ve reached 15k members (afaik we’re still the largest community on lemmy). It’s a lot for only a couple people, though there is admin support.

I’m looking for a couple people to join and help moderate. Ideally you:

  1. Have a history of contributions to this community
  2. Have been on lemmy for a reasonable* amount of time and do not plan to leave any time soon

*Genuinely not sure what constitutes reasonable, I suppose it will be case-by-case. It’s a little frightening to appoint someone who just came via the reddit migration, but I understand that 4/5 of this community are newish so it’s fine. The main hope is that you’ll stick around.

Ideally I’ll pick a few people out in the coming days. I’m also going to correspond with the admins before changes.

Thanks

    I’m interested! I keep finding myself here. I am admin for a small instance (wayfarershaven.eu) and am working on building up some communities. I’m enjoying Lemmy and the fediverse and want to help build that up as much as I can.

    I am still pretty new here (my first account is just about two weeks) but I do work in support and believe in FOSS. At the end of the day, we’re here to share knowledge, learn from each other, and have a good time. I’m happy to roll up my sleeves and facilitate that.

    I think time in the fediverse is needed. As an example, this account isnt very old but i had (an admittedly dormant) account for a year and have been on mastodon on various instances since 2019.

    Edit: to be clear, i am not applying to the position

    I’m certainly willing to volunteer, I’m not hugely active at the moment, but plan to be far more active soon.

    I shortly chatted with u/Tmpod about it. I would like to help out with this community :)

      I’m interested in the moderator bot. Have you made any progress on it?

        I haven’t gotten around to working on it, /u/Tmpod said he was working on it as well. Figured I would wait instead. It would be really good to have it one to remind users of the rules about open-ended questions :)

    I’m happy to help, I’ve been a reddit and FB mod for years and am doing my best to be active here.
