Massive shout out to Lemmy in general. I've laughed a lot over the past week.
And I wanna highlight @wjs018@ani.social for being a great moderator.

Thanks for the shoutout! It's been a long road to grow that community over the past year and change, but it's users that care enough to offer constructive criticism that help a lot!
Hey, laughing is fun, what communities?
Finally got the push I needed to finish working on a dedicated rules page for the wiki that I use for !anime@ani.social. The meta discussion around it was helpful in that I learned that I was perhaps a bit out of step with what users wanted.
Also, I was doing some testing of my community on piefed and identified a couple bad bugs for some types of posts we use. The devs over there were very responsive and both of the bad bugs have since been patched (one, two), with a third, minor bug to be fixed at some point.
Well done!
Damn, I just created !askusa@discuss.online ~2 hours ago, already filled it with 3 posts just to get it off the ground, and there are already more than twice as many downvotes as upvotes. I knew it would be brutal - b/c "Lemmy", ofc - but yeesh! 😰
I do hope that someone wants to help mod, and/or create content b/c I'm definitely not wanting to do this alone!
You can open a post to ask for other mods. People will probably offer, as this fits a niche with strong demand
You can also try to reach out to mods of !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
@PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat would you like to help?
Happy to. I'm not sure how much good I can do until 0.20 gets released and I can moderate things locally, but I'm happy to volunteer.
Discuss.online validates new accounts automatically without manual reviews if that can help
I would rather keep just the one account, though. I can barely remember to check rss.ponder.cat for reports more than once every few days. I think as long as the fix is coming, I'm content keeping the one account and waiting for the fix.
You might be waiting for probably around a year
It says the milestone is due January 31st.

That's surely a goal as opposed to a promise, but I would assume that means it may be out early next year at least.
We'll see!
!renpy@discuss.tchncs.de is active and slowly growing, we have 82 subscribers now!
Same old, same old, for the most part.
!spaceflight@sh.itjust.works, !spacex@sh.itjust.works, and !spaceflightmemes@sh.itjust.works are chugging along.
Consolidation of EV communities to !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net seems to have been a success. Subscribers are still on the low end, but there are plenty of active users.
!leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social seems to be getting some traction as well, with a non-meme post from @the16bitgamer@programming.dev.
I've slowed a bit with !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works, but still pleased with the growth so far.

That's great to hear!
I didn't know where else I could post it. The Harry Potter lemmies are a bit confusing to figure out what is safe to post where, especially with a community that has posts and engagement (even if it's memes). So I would consider myself an outlier.
I think you did well
