[CLOSED] [META] New Communities@lemmy.world is looking for moderators - Lemmy

As we have pass our thousandth post and continue to grow, I’d felt like it would be a good idea to have more than one moderator for this community. You do not have to be on lemmy.world to apply.

It shouldn’t take all day to moderate, but it’s not trivial either. Please only apply if you think you’d be able to moderate.

Please message me with the following information if you would like to apply:

Your timezone.
Any moderation experience? (Not required, but if so, give basic details. Not just on Lemmy, any platform.)
Any other details you want to give.

Expectations

You are expected to moderate for spam and uncivil content in general and handle any other situations that may occur but also uphold the rules of lemmy.world on this community, which are here: https://lemmy.world/legal Also, help other users when needed.

This isn’t exactly the most formal process, but this is a casual community and most of us are new, so I’m trying to make it as simple as possible.

Edit: Thank you everyone for considering to moderate this community! I believe we have enough moderators for this community now.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
