Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

MODERATORS
While I appreciate the humor, this happened without my knowledge and consent and I don't want to moderate.
Moderate me daddy
I think this calls for a feature where appointing moderators is something that should be confirmed or rejected on the receiving account.
Is there an issue for this kind of thing already open? I wasn't able to find one
Yeah that's how Reddit does it. They invite you as mod, then you have to accept it by clicking a link in your PMs.
This website is honestly fucking awful where moderator accountability is concerned. Although admittedly I've never seen the pendulum swing to this side. If the equation.. that's odd.
It's pretty fucked up to do that to someones account without asking them.
It's your supervillain origin story, you can't escape it.
You are chosen, we need you. Don't fail us, you are our only hope.
CHOSEN ONE! WEEOO WEEOO WEEOO!
I see Kung Pow, I upvote.
UPDATE
So apparently I was transferred ownership and moderation of this community.
Made a report using this post and it seems like an admin(?) noticed and is taking action.
I guess instead of "Chosen One" this makes me the "Appointed One"???
Thanks everyone!
Hmmm
You're the best man for the job. We took a vote.
You can check out anytime you like, but...you can never leave.
Make a comment in the community and remove yourself as a mod from the comment.
Hmmm....
Edit: the admins are working on it (:
Wtf, I thought there's no personal karma on Lemmy at all. Y U have karma?
I think that all instances of lemmy support karma? It's in your account settings, if you want to see karma numbers on posts and comments and in your profile.
Idk, I'm using Boost and that's what it shows
Yeah you've even got a little fuchsia M inside of a circle for MODERATOR next to your name now
If I were you I'd start banning everyone to teach the mod a lesson about fucking around and finding out lmao (sorry everyone) start with the most prolific posters and commenters for maximum effect. When their Community is a shell of what it used to be because there's no approved users anymore they might regret it.
Hey I guess I should probably update my CV to include "Internet moderator" now...
Kidding aside, I don't want to disrupt the community and the members just to get noticed. I don't even know how I got to be a moderator in the first place, and I'm not sure a mod can just pick anyone and make them a mod without that person's approval.
With such communities, there is barely anything to do as a moderator. Once every year, someone will whine at you because another one is "rude". You just ignore him. Maybe an advertisement or two to remove. That's all.
Cause he's a mod, duh!
/s for those that need it.
there isn't karma as such, but up/downvotes are readily available and from that you can trivially get a total to display.
In theory there's even nothing preventing you from using a fancier algorithm to calculate something like reddit's karma, but then that wouldn't agree with what most clients display.
Voyager app also shows your "comment score."
U wanna be a mod of a different community?
