News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I read somewhere that less than 50 people moderate like 80% of reddit. Awkward's time should have long since passed if they're taking on moderation in over 1000 subs, but things like SLPT -which gets a not-insignifigant amount of traffic- has gone longer than 6 months without Awkward opening it. This also goes to show another complaint redditors have where mods are inactive as FUCK, and don't get removed but Admin team pulling OT to bump them off now!
People need to check moderators' profiles on Lemmy - some people are trying to do the same here. If the person moderates more than 10-ish subs it's better to create a new community before theirs catch on.
You make me feel a little self conscious about creating communities now lol. I have several I had planned to make because they're so niche but now I'm afraid everyone's gonna think I'm some power hungry mod. Truth is I've been a mod for things before and I hated it, I just want to talk about shit I like with other people.
I think there's a few things. Firstly, it depends on whether you have a mod team. Asking for more mods is an antidote to power mods. The best mod teams consist of 5-6 people. It also depends on whether you're ok to let some of those communities go eventually - one person shouldn't have the final say on 100 communities. Finally, it depends on whether you have 10 communities or 100. 10 is "enthusiastic", 100 is "uhhhhhh".
If you want more communities than you can manage, go around and start asking for mods, either in adjacent subs or on reddit. Once a community is set up and you feel you have a good team, pare down a bit. Subs are more successful with more mods at first anyway - there are more people to create content and promote the community.
