MODERATORS
Hi, Serinus here from the Lemmy.World Community Team. We, along with admins, are responsible for finding mods for communities and trying to ensure that existing communities follow LW ToS.
You'd be surprised at the number of people who daily participate on Lemmy and actively post in a community yet say they don't have time or interest to moderate something like !economics
It's much easier to just take existing mods who are willing, able, and quality mods and give them more communities that no one else wants. I try really hard not to do that.
If you have good activity on Lemmy (usually 3+ days a week) and are interested in adopting an abandoned community, please do let us know.
I saw c/debian and c/fedora.. There are people using it randomly, but the mod seems to have left ages ago... Both of these are super common linux distributions (and both have a few subscribers)
Note that I have transferred both of these to you. :)
I've been dual booting Pop_OS from time to time, but it's missing three of the most important applications I use.
Unfortunately, I do still play League of Legends pretty regularly. Maybe that'll change when WoW Forever comes out. Maybe. People seem luke warm on it.
Microsoft Teams certainly isn't native, and Omnissa Horizon Client (VMWare RDP) says it works... but only really works on one monitor in Linux.
Between those things and already having everything set up in Windows, it's hard to find a reason to keep booting into Linux. I like the idea of it.
Yeah. Thats fair enough. I still need to run a windows VM for work, but, I adapted our tools to work in linux.
In practice, if it weren't for the push to Linux by Steam, it would be a hard sell for most people. I only play shonky games though, so its great for me (and I'm moving to steamOS based hardware, away from PS5/Xbox)
To clarify, the mod would need to be on your instance to request to mod a community on your instance, right? Or no?
Something I’ve always wondered.
Like I’m sure I can only create a community on dbzer0 (and have done). But what about adopting a community?
I don’t have any in mind, I’m merely curious.
You can make an alt account, as long as you'll get notifications from it.
You'd just apply with your main account and name your alt. Both can be moderators, but afaik only the one on instance gets notified of reports properly.
This works better if your main is from a recognizable instance.
