I am currently the only moderator, I don't want to spam my own posts to any community though. I would rather them develop on their own and hope the community and posts come/grow organically.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Why are you moderating so many communities though? I checked your profile. You are moderating like 60 communities. Power trip much?
You are moderating both "Democrat" and "Republican".. lol..
And you are not even building the communities, you just created them with the sole purpose of being the mod.
Because the way communities came to be moderated on Reddit created horrible echo chambers between banning people for disagreeing views or forcing their own opinions/views down people's throats via content removal, I wanted to grab them before the same terrible mods from Reddit did.
> You are moderating both “Democrat” and “Republican”… lol…
It's almost like you don't have to have entirely one-sided views and can moderate content without bias and without creating hate-filled echo chambers.
If you'd like to participate in either of those feel free to ask, I'm not here to "power trip".
I disagree. I think you should mod a community that interests you. I doubt you are interested in every single one of those 60 communities. Are you even LGBTQ? You mod that one as well. Hopefully you are!
My suggestion would be to delete the ones you don't want to engage in daily. You are just parking there. Some users probably want to mod some communities that you are already "modding", but do not because you did it first. You do nothing for the community. They would make it great, and grow it and foster it and treat it well.
What you are doing is a disservice to the lemmy space.
