Moderation Changes and the Way Forward (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone!

As some of you probably seen, both @[email protected] and I decided to step up as moderators since @[email protected] (the original owner) hasn't been active for 7 months now. While this isn't a problem from a spam or content perspective at the moment, it's definitely something that can affect the place if the activity ball gets rolling or we end up on the radar of a troll, bot, or spammer.

We already started thinking about some changes to step away from the "in case Reddit falls" feel of the early days and turn it into its own thing but we could really use your help.

We're trying to figure out the best way to make this community more active and welcoming for potential newcomers. Since this place is by all of us, for all of us, we'd love to get some feedback on what you'd like to see done with it.

Do you have an idea for a rule? A type of content you'd like to see more of? Maybe you know of some useful links, tips and resources that should be easily accessible here?

Feel free to post anything that comes to mind as each piece of feedback will help shape the direction of our efforts and, truth be told, make our jobs way easier.

Thank you for your time and happy reading!

I'd be willing to raid r/visualnovels' own sidebar to start learning.

Also, don't feel bad! I feel like one of the lesser-knowledge folks when it comes to otome. But there are not many Fediverse otome enjoyers, so right now I'm most qualified. I am happy to yield mod status to someone who knows more once they come along (as long as they do not delete the "no fanart you did not make" rule, I do not want to turn into image central with no discussion like so many other ani.social communities) but till then, if I want otome on the Fediverse, I have to make it myself and that means if people want a more knowledgeable mod, participate in the community and offer or deal with it. If you are the only one around to provide content…

That's kind of where I come from as well. For years I've been more of a lurker than an active part of any community I've followed. After joining the fediverse I decided to change this little by little - partially for myself and partially for the same reason as you (if I want a place to talk about the stuff I like, it needs to exist and grab people first).

It also helps that off the Fediverse, people usually have already posted the thing I saw, or said the comment I wanted to say already, so I toss an upvote and leave. On the Fediverse the comparative lack of activity and engagement means that nobody else has seen and posted the cool thing, or vocalized the thought. So I engage more by virtue of it not being done for me already.
