Hi. Been awhile since I'd been able to check in due to significant amount of real life issues. As a result I'm not able to moderate as much as I used to nowadays. Since there's only two mods including myself I decided to post a call to see if anyone's up for moderating the page.

Main requirements are reading and understanding the community guidelines and being on lemmy pretty often and willing to moderate when a report comes in. If anyone knows and is willing to do an ownership transfer then I'm open for that too though I'm fuzzy on how that's handled for Lemmy.

Hey there, I am willing to help, but I've never been a mod. I'm a pretty quick learner, but I would need some guidance in the beginning at least. I'm using Tesseract.

Approved. If you need some guidance then shoot a message and lemme know, I'm not the best by a long shot but I can give it my best.

[-] Flummoxed@lemmy.today 7 points 5 months ago

Excellent. So far I think I've got it... I can see the reports and modlog for the community. I will do my best!

If you’re serious about transferring ownership, perhaps crosspost to: !comm_revival@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Good idea; posted there now. Dunno the steps on community transferring but I'm looking to do that with a few pages; least so my own irl stuff doesn't stop a community dead in it's tracks.

The supply demand issue is definitely a problem. Lot less people will to mod a community, even less people willing to post, than there are communities.

But something as big as !upliftingnews@lemmy.world should generate some interest (though one might wonder if it’s the good kind of interest.)

I would also like to volunteer, although I don't really have any experience modding a lemmy community, is there a guide or something? I would love to help if I can

[-] WandererLagomorph770@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Approved. Not to my knowledge but if you have any experience modding communities on places like reddit or discord I don't imagine it's too dissimilar. Mostly just look at the guidelines and act on reports of trolling, spam, harassment, the usual.

Awesome! I stepped down from modding so for that one you might want to message the other moderators for that. Just let em know you posted here and they should be able to get you in from there.

[-] sga@lemmings.world 2 points 3 months ago

if you are still up, I will make you mod, just reply

[-] plantmoretrees@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Just tell me what you need!

[-] sga@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

nothing, just a yes or no, and i am assuming since you replied, so you are still up for it, so making you a mod

[-] sga@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

just reply back in case you can are not promoted as a mod (sometimes moderation/mod activites (like promoting someone as mod) does not federate well)

[-] plantmoretrees@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Awesome, it’s a yes for me. Thanks
