Hey all, this community has grown a lot lately, so moderating it has become quite time consuming. As I’m studying and also working a side job helping hands would be very welcome. I guess we should also have a discussion about Rules so that Mod Decisions aren’t looking arbitrary. So let’s have a discussion about the rules we want in this community, and if we are done with this, we will look for new Moderators. (Suggestions about a good process for this are also welcome)

With best regards

    I wouldn’t reinvent the wheel and borrow r/Europe rules as a starting point.

    Maybe do a little bit more proactive moderation to that community. r/Europe threads could sometimes go off the rails and had cleanup many hours later - I think it’s OK to lock down before that happens (is locking posts a thing on Lemmy?).

    Another approach is to keep rules simple and do a complete philosophy and rule walkthrough separately. I penned this monstrosity for polish subreddit back in the day (linking to archived version since I left since then and it got some meh updates in the meantime).

    Yet another approach is to have a philosophy page like Tildes does. It’s clear enough that you disallow assholery and bigotry but community like this definitely needs submission rules on top anyway.
