At the moment almost zero. If it gets very active and you want to enforce rules like no reposting or something like that it could be a tiny bit. Mean users etc will also be managed by the server.

MODERATORS
I guess itβll depend on the size of the community you create. There maybe will some time in the future where itβll take you some time to moderate the community. But I guess that if the community gets as large as this and you donβt want to invest that much time you can look for people whoβll help you with the moderation.
Yes, if you create a community, you are responsible for helping it grow. This includes things like writing a useful sidebar and adding an icon image.
The good news is, you can (and usually should) ask for help and recruit moderators to help you with this.
I also have a lot of questions regarding how same communities on different servers would look like. There are already 2 c/technology communities. Are they totally seprate or the data is synced between the two?
If they are both on different instances, then they are separate communities which allows for different moderation rules. That means no mods can monopolize a simple community name like technology. It would be cool if there was a way to sync them though.
@gun There is talk of allowing user to group multiple communities together in to a sort of virtual community.
This is what I'd like to see. Small communities coming together to create a bigger whole. And then groups being able to splinter off again if they feel the need.
@Kichae As I understand it, the proposal is basically just an interface thing at the user level. So a user can choose to display multiple technology groups from different instances together.
this would be the best way. having then separate is a fundamental thing of the federation. being able to visually put them together should be on the user level.
there should be a clear notice for which comm your new posts default to. likely the instance you're actually on, but it's possible that you don't even want to join the comm for your own instance
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.
Yes totally separate
Thanks for asking this, and for everyone who has chimed in with advice. It is encouraging me to become more proactive.
