So it's like the title says. I created this community to kinda fill the void from the reddit shutdown, and have no real idea on how to moderate a community like this, especially if it ends up huge like the one on Reddit.

Seeing as I have little moderation experience, if anyone is interested in moderating for this community just lmk and I'll see about setting you up.

TL;DR - Created a potentially huge amount of work for myself that I'm super unfamiliar with.

I'm just gonna keep posting the same obnoxious shitpost, so you'll always know you can just safely delete any posts from me. I want to make your life easy :)

    You got this! It's good to try new things, especially if they're scary.

    LOL. I've got three already, but if you want to add me to the team, I'll keep an eye out for you, mostly because my cardinal rule in life is "don't be a dick".

    I just did the same thing for Best Updates (BORU replacement) only to find out that Lemmy post bodies can’t be longer than 10k characters (BORU posts are frequently over that). I’m not sure how best to proceed :/

    Hopefully the pottery community doesnt get out of control... because we just did that there too. I'm sure it'll work out for everyone lmao. I feel like it'll take a long time for people to really populate these new spaces while we learn things anyway. So excited for all the new things happening!
