Hello World,

Due to our pace of growth, our platform ended up with thousands of communities created by you, our dear users. While we are still appreciative of every community effort, we decided we need to be able to better assist and publicize them. To assist with this effort, we now have two community team positions available:

  • The Community Engagement Team: This team will work with community moderators and find ways to increase their engagement, provide them with easy access to logo and banner options, and communicate with you better to assure transparency as needed. Team capacity: 6 new members expected
  • The Community Management Team: This team will be responsible of making sure communities have active moderators, assuring compliance in Lemmy.World communities, and keeping track of community moderation logs in order to assure they are moderated in good health. Team capacity: 6 new members expected

Both of these teams will be working closely with the admin team, and are expected to become ways for our users to have enhanced control of their instance. Let's build something great together!

How to apply

All applications must include the following information:

  • Your Lemmy.World registered username, and your reason to apply
  • The position you are interested in
  • Your time zone, and average availability level

All applications may be sent to @clueless_stoner@lemmy.world or @antik@lemmy.world, or e-mailed to info@lemmy.world

Can we make it a site wide policy to NOT have supermods?

I've already identified a couple of users who are accumulating mod positions like MTG cards, and some are the most toxic and intentionally astringent users who are constantly involved in all the drama.

    Yea. I got banned from a community and zero clue why and when. I have a feeling it's one of these.

    Looking at the modlog, it was News for repeated rude comments. Good news! It's only 2 more days!

    Rule 1 in News is "1. Be civil". You were marked as multiple rule 1 violations and had multiple comments removed.

    So you'll be off the 3 day ban soon, keep it clean and you'll be fine.

    you should clarify if these are volunteer positions or paid, and what level of hours/commitment are expected as such.

    This is a volunteer platform, and as such no one is paid. Applicants may include their availability info and be considered accordingly.

    How many hours a week would you expect a member to contribute?

    If someone's primary account is on another instance, can they still help out?

    ex. I have a lemmy.world account for cross instance moderation, but I don't really have to use most of the time

    Ages ago on reddit I got banned from r/justiceserved for merely commenting on r/conservative this was on a post about tianmemen square they had a autobot set up which'll automatically check wherever someone subscribes comments or posts prehaps it'll be worth considering maybe trying do moderation differently on lemmy to reddit is

  • Same here. I got banned from leaving a comment questioning an antivax subreddit that another subreddit used an autoban bot to monitor. There was no attempt to take context into consideration. This type of moderation behavior should be unacceptable.

    I usually tell reporters to down-vote and scroll. Not clear how downvote effects lists but I only remove obvious spam or off topic. Created a few communities when this place was a ghost-town and 2 days later the reddit hordes arrived. smh. No way I'm screening every post now. up/down votes should count for something. Currently if someone reports a post, I check up/down votes to see what community thinks. Maybe give an option to sort by up votes. Or maybe there is already a way. Volunteer mods only have to ask and have a profile history. I'm old and don't need this shit.
