    I’d start a community/magazine on my own based on subreddits that have no analogue here (e.g., cassette futurism, Comedy Bang Bang, Doughboys) but would that require me to be a mod or whatever? I’d be fine providing material as if I were seeding a garden, until more users come in and it becomes active on its own, but I don’t want to be watching it over constantly or anything like that.

      Yea you’d be the mod. I’m in the same boat, I really don’t want to moderate people. But I made one anyway. It will take time, but I’m trying to cultivate it to the best of my ability.

      We’re making it up as we go. It’s pretty awesome.

      I think the feddiverse is gonna turn out a bit different than reddit. For sure. And for the better.

      I’m not sure if my community has a 1 to 1 with reddit, and that’s the best part. We’re all mods here.

      I feel you. You can start your community and post content to get started and then handover moderation if/when others join. I considered doing the same but unfortunately I just don’t have the content to get started with so I’m more down to wait and see. I’ve made a list of my favourite subs and set a weekly reminder on my phone to check on here if they exist.

        Yeah, I may just do that, like post a sticky/pinned thread (if that’s A Thing here, idk) saying that whoever is interested is welcome to take over modship. I just want to get something started. Maybe this weekend, why not.
