Let us know in the comments if you’re able to help mod. Requirements:
- You have to be on the lemmy.ml instance
- Should have a history of activity here
- Able to enforce the rules, with temp bans or permabans if necessary.
Just out of curiosity, what’s the advantage to them having their account on the same Instance as the community?
Less likely to accidentally loose access due to defederation? 🤷♂️
Yea that makes sense.
Federation shenanigans would be my guess. If you were on instance B and moderating instance A then instance B admins would have control of your account instead of instance A admins. So if for some reason instance B admins decide to ban that user then they are prevented from moderating for instance A.
there are bugs on moderating communities on other instances. like mode actions do not propagate to federated instances if done from a different instance.
but don’t take my word for it, i don’t have a source.
Instructions unclear. posts more beef stroganoff memes
The hell u talkin’ 'bout, boyeee?
I think memes also needs a couple more rules. Specifically I think the posts should be memes.
I’ll take one for the team, bang through some privileges and I’ll start moderating the shit out of this community.
No pooping, beans and stroganoff for everyone!
No poop for you!
Man, what a poop nazi.
I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.
Overall I’m not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I’ll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.
Done, thanks!
Why limit it to lemmy.ml?
Its a good idea to have communities moderated by local users, in case there are any issues with federation or reports federating.
- I’m on lemmy.ml
- I have posted here several times, some posts reaching 500+ upvotes
- Can enforce rules

just a question: is moderating any different in lemmy than reddit? like can a moderator power trip here?
Mod actions are of the shadow type, as in users don’t get to know if they’re blocked/hidden/etc unless they have a hunch and go check the modlog.
Modlog is more transparent but the former reason makes power tripping / shaping a community to the whims of a mod easy.
I don’t know if there’re any reporting tools to inform instance admins if a mod is going rogue
I want to apply. I’m woke
It’s a pity that it is limited to lemmy.ml :/
