MODERATORS
 

Hello Sopuli,

We have quite a few communities that have been abandoned / moderator has abandoned fediverse, so we are looking for moderators who would like to adopt some of these communities.

For the communities that we don't find any people to moderate we will add a sticky post with information on how to adopt these communities and hopefully redirect people to an active community that has a somewhat similar purpose/topic.

List of communities below:


Hei Sopuli,

Meillä on melko paljon yhteisöjä, jotka on hylätty / moderaattori on lähtenyt fediversestä, joten etsimme moderaattoreita jotka haluaisivat ottaa joitakin näistä yhteisöistä hoitaakseen.

Yhteisöihin, joihin emme löydä moderaattoreita, laitamme pystyyn postauksen jossa selitetään miten kyseisen yhteisön voi ottaa hoitaakseen ja ohjaamme postauksessa käyttäjät samankaltaiseen, aktiivisempaan yhteisöön.

Alla on luettelo yhteisöistä:


Active communities in need of moderators \ Aktiiviset yhteisöt jotka tarvitsisivat moderaattoreita:

Communities that subscribers wish would be more active \ Yhteisöjä joiden seuraajat toivoisivat olevan aktiivisempia:

Some of the following are active communities, but all of them would need moderation \ Jotkin seuraavista ovat aktiivisia yhteisöjä, mutta jokainen niistä tarvitsisi moderointia:

Then we had a user who made an account, made million communities but left shortly after \ Meillä oli käyttäjä joka loi miljoona yhteisöä ja lähti sitten menemään:

Finnish cities \ Suomen kaupunkeja:

Language learning \ kielten oppiminen:

Operating systems, programming, tech \ käyttöjärjestelmät, ohjelmointi, tekniikka:

Spirituality, Religion, Philosophy \ Henkisyys, uskonto ja filosofia:

Hobbies \ harrastukset:

Random \ satunnaiset:

So I guess one should have a Sopuli.xyz account to be a moderator huh ??

Because I am kind of interested in moderating tech-based communities (esp. Privacy ones)

[–] biotin7@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Actually I'm willing (Not trying to pick a fight here) but hey let's see if that community gets integrated

I was going to offer to moderate French but I see there are two other communities with the same purpose of teaching French (https://sh.itjust.works/c/maydaylapprendre and https://lemmy.world/c/french). So maybe this one could be merged?

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

That would be a good idea!

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I also see this as a good idea, but I checked out these communities and their mods seem to be also somewhat inactive on lemmy and there isn't any more activity than on the sopuli one. While lemmy.world and SJW are really well administered instances that will deal with any issues quickly, I'd like to consider some options first maybe?

I would have never found the first one with the community name, so I'd like to ask if you happen to know any other communities like that on lemmy?

[–] late_night@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I see on the last post in the French community on sopuli, a user is redirecting to !forumlibre@jlai.lu, which is more active.

Next time, feel free to ask on !forumlibre@jlai.lu, it's quite more active than this community

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ohh missed that! Am I completely wrong thinking that forumlibre is just a french speaking community for everything? Wondering how they would like us redirecting to them.

I mean we do have !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz that also has french learners. This community was meant as a catch-all language learning community with more activity for languages that don't necessarily have an active community yet on lemmy. We can redirect there too if we don't have a dedicated and active space yet!

Unlike the reddit equivalent !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz also accepts language specific questions and talk.

[–] late_night@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're right, the other communities have indeed a different goal or are inactive. I should have looked more thoroughly in the first place

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you throwing out ideas as I am quite lost with french :) no need to become a detective!

I guess we could redirect to !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz community unless you'd like to personally take up the community under moderation (or we can do both, that you take it over and redirect until there's a demand for learning community for french specifically).

What do you think?

[–] late_night@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that's a good idea! I would be happy to take over the community then. And we can see if there's enough activity or if it's better to direct people somewhere else.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Awesome! Make a post / comment there and I can make you a mod! Doesn't need to be anything fancy if you don't have an idea, can be a "word of the day" type of a post :)

[–] late_night@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Done! Thanks for your help :)

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Thanks for stepping up :) made you a mod now

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

As there's no rush on these things I suppose I'll step up and try to do my best with !oulu@sopuli.xyz. Post mentioning this already in place.

We'd be fine with redirect, but I'll wait until the discussion in the linked post comes to somekind of conclusion. It seems the fxomt might lock privacy@dbzero and we would preferably not redirect to a locked community :)

(we will probably redirect to more than one community because I personally follow a few and feel like if you only subscribe to one you'll miss out). The redirect is mostly for new users afterall!

Edit: seems like the discussion didn't end with locking that community on dbzer0, so we will probably mention it as well in the redirect post on sopuli.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

!privacy@programming.dev seems to have more active posters, but dbzer0 can probably be mentioned too

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah the whole privacy community consolidation topic seems prettty tough.

I think in the headline of redirect post we can mention programming.dev since it's picking up momentum, but we'll add all the active communities in post body so people can just follow them all if they want and want to keep up with all of the posts for now (i do that currently).

Thanks for your efforts with this blaze.

Listaan on muuten lipsahtanut pieni kirjoitusvirhe: !NiceMemes@sopuli.xyz ohjautuu väärin koska lukee NiceNemes

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Hyvin huomattu, kiitos! Korjaan.

[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Make a post there and it's all yours!

[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok done, will start posting a bit weekly anyway.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

You have been appointed as a mod in that community now! Recommend advertising your community on !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca :)
