I'm trying to get a feel for what users appreciate and want out of community moderators.

Other related questions:

  • What community rules do you like?

  • What moderation actions do you think are helpful?

  • What is a helpful way for moderators to interact with their respective communities?

  • Anything else relevant?

My main use for Lemmy is as a news aggregator, so these appreciation points are a little specific:

What community rules do you like?

(News/politics communities) Basically rules that enforce quality submissions. No blogs, no YouTube/Tiktok/social media posts. No sources MFBC deems low credibility. No link shorteners, etc. All things to help combat mis/disinformation by making it immediately apparent where the news is coming from and that it has been vetted.

What moderation actions do you think are helpful?

Removing infringing submissions as soon as is feasible and enforcing community rules consistently. It's also appreciated when there's a follow-up message (either DM from mod or via auto-moderator) letting you know why the action was taken.

What is a helpful way for moderators to interact with their respective communities?

Be a part of it. Interact in the comments, post quality content that acts as an example for submissions and sets the tone for the community.
