MODERATORS
 

I searched Lemmy for a community around the SCP Universe and did not find one. I thought 'Hey, maybe I can start one', but I've never modded a community on any site and I was trying to think of what the time commitment would be like (to see if it would be manageable for my situation).

Assuming it wouldn't be, is there a way to request a community be made? Or to find volunteers to mod a community?

A community on Lemmy for SCP would be cool, but I don't want to be a bad moderator.

Honestly doesn't take that much work even when I moderated a subreddit with few hundred thousand users.

That's good to hear since I work full time and have 2 kids.

Are there any special considerations I should take into account?

[โ€“] TruckBC@antiquelemmy.com 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really?

It's easy to find additional volunteers when it's getting too big, keep an eye on who reports things accurately and ask them to join the mod team?

Glad to hear. I will have to consider it.

Thanks for the input

At first it might take some effort to create content since it will be a new community. It might be good to see if you can find one or two others to help you mod or at least help build up posts in the community until you get a more active base. Most communities do not see much in the way of mod reports unless it's a controversial community such as US Politics.

Hey... Is there a public mirror bot to get reddit subs mirrored on Lemmy?

[โ€“] BigMoe@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure. I know there is an SCP Sub on reddit.

Not sure how many of those users would have come to Lemmy.
