Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I think these are good ideas speaking broadly, but are quite extensive in terms of implementation and getting them right.
What do you mean by this part? That if I as a mod of television@piefed.social incorporated another community into this hierarchy they'd essentially be a feeder community and I'd effectively be a mod of that community?
You'd (as moderator of /c/television) have no moderation power over their community, but you would have full control over which of their submissions are visible in yours. You control default visibility within your community, but can't take down their posts. They'd be subject to whatever the global rules of /c/television are (which are distict from "local" rules for /c/television), and if there's some unresolvable dispute, the "subcommunity" could leave, or you could kick them out. Mutual consent is required.
Perhaps (to help small-community mods with sheer volume of moderation) "parent" communities could optionally moderate sub communities? But this wouldn't be default. Ideally moderation permissions would be granular and configurable.
By this I just mean that, practically, instance admins should probably set up some default heirarchy for the most prominant subs, for an "initial" structure to their preference, and let mods work it out from there.
