I just created a community I could not find amongst some of the top instances (synthesizers). I am ok with moderating which is important because if you create a community you are a mod for that community. @seahorse@midwest.social might have more thoughts on this topic.
I'm pretty sure I'd be bad at it, but I decided today that I'm willing to try stuff. If people really do come here in significant numbers, the way to demonstrate that this is a viable community worth staying in is to have options for folks.
However, I know how new and enthusiastic people can fuck shit up despite good intentions. I don't believe that I'd do that, but I'm sure nobody thinks that about themselves. Idk what the ramifications would be of a dozen of us frenetically recreating reddit spaces here and then ghosting. Again, I don't think I'll do that! But still...
Feel free to make pretty much whatever community you want to. Shouldn't increase cpu. Just be aware that you'll be the mod of any community you make.
Well then I hope you people like making fun of and embracing the insanity of stupid houses. Any reason not to simply cop the name of the subreddit I'd be ripping off?
Mcmansionhell?
I'm a fan, but that one's kinda bust. All the fun shit is happening at zillowgonewild. It's the name that gives me pause.
I'll sub immediately!
What happens when a community gets abandoned? I.e. someone creates a community, appoints no other mods, and then abandons Lemmy/that account. I assume a server admin can take the reigns and appoint a new mod(s)?
Yep, admins can transfer communities.
Default community for midwest.social. Post questions about the instance or questions you want to ask other users here.
