How this community is moderated.
~~I’m the sole moderator here but~~ I have a couple of accounts on different instances so I can see all the comments regardless of DDoS and defederaton. My main account is SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk but I’m also SomeoneElse@ lemmy.world, feddit.uk and lemmy.ca. You can contact me on any account.
EDIT: devtimi@lemmy.world has volunteered to mod with me so there are two of us now!
This community has quickly grown to 2.5k subscribers, 30 posts and a whopping 1.4k comments in just a month. Thank you to everyone who’s followed the rules and subscribed, voted, or commented. To ensure this community remains the friendly, entertaining and inclusive place it was intended to be, please report any comments that break the rules listed in the sidebar.
If you break the rules, your comment is likely to be removed. I will also message you with either a reminder to follow the rules or a warning. You get one warning. If you break the rules again, you will be banned.
Additional moderators.
So fair the vast majority of subscribers have followed the rules and discussions have been largely respectful and interesting. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed. My hope for this community is that it continues with a Lemmy feel and doesn’t turn into a Reddit 2.0. To that end I just wanted to remind everyone to read the rules in the sidebar. Please report any comments/users that break those rules.
It’s likely that I’ll need help modding this community if it continues to grow at its current pace, so if you’re interested, drop me a message. Having previous moderator experience and living in a different time zone from me (Europe, BST) would be ideal but it’s not a must by any means.
I’m open to all suggestions on how this community is run including adding or refining community rules, posting guidelines and feedback on how hands on or off you’d like the moderating team to be. Feel free to message me or comment below.
It’s good to have you here 😊

I think you might be the nicest, most positive person I’ve come across on Lemmy! You’re very welcome, I’m glad you’re part of this community ☺️
Thank you! :)
Group hug!
But seriously, I am getting more and more convinced that the civilization % here is way higher than on tiddeR.
It helps being smaller I think. On Reddit it was a relief if I posted something and didn’t get insulted/downvoted into oblivion, no matter how benign it was. The nicer people here seem less afraid of getting drowned out by arseholes. I like seeing the same usernames pop up too. I see blaze and 2-3 others all the time around lemmy - always supportive, always participating in good faith and basically making lemmy a better place to be.
I think you are right. And lets face it, some communities have a lot of interaction (like selfhosted and fediverse), making up for the growth to kick in.
(Not sure how to post links to selfhosted or other communities 😅)
If they're Lemmy instances,
[!Community@instance-address.tld](/c/Community@instance-address.tld)will link to the community. Similarly, an@prefix instead of a!will link to users.Thanks!
