MODERATORS

If you create a sub on Lemmy, are you responsible for its moderation? If so, how much of a pain is that, really? (lemmy.ml)

The title, really.

On Reddit, I was one of the ubiquitous lurkers. I'd like to maybe participate a little more on Lemmy, now that I'm here. I might even like to start a community, but I'm concerned about what kind of a commitment I might be getting myself into. I really have quite enough BS in my life without inviting more.

I'd be grateful for any advice, experience, or warnings folks might have. Thanks, and have a good one!

Edit: Thanks everyone for your responses! Maybe I will try my hand at a community or two!

No, infact sync would make the moderation system useless. I think there is going to be both advantages and disadvantages with this approach. One big disadvantage is differentiating the communities because users would be expected to check the server name.

It would be nice to eventually have functionality like multireddit where we could individually in our own accounts combine communities from different instances into a single (specific just to our own account) community.

Okay I wouldn't say useless. For instance, say that a user posts a comment that breaks one servers rules but not the other. Then it would be banned only on the server whose rules it broke. If it was a user of that server, they'd be warned or banned. If not, it's still possible to ban that users posts from showing up on a synced instance. Still, wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah, maybe not completely useless.

That's not what I'm talking about though. Another user mentioned multireddits. If there are multiple technology communities on different instances you might want to subscribe to content from all of them with a single action, even if the content is moderated separately in each of them.
