This usually only happens when threads hit the front page of the all feed and people that are not subscribed to the community see it, vote on it and start commenting in it (which then becomes a self-reinforcing system that pushes it further up the “hot” rating on the all feed).

This community is currently too new and small for that to happen.

I'll wait until I can put in place the throwaway account sniping, and more testing, before I try to do much more to promote it. The wider level of attention from !newcommunities@lemmy.world seems to be a good test which the bot hasn't caught up to be able to handle completely.

As for pro-Zionist comments… if they come from an account that is not only posting such and it isn’t outright genocide denial, I agree that it can stay up.

Yes, that user posts almost all normal content, with a tiny minority of unpopular but still "normal" political views, and a couple of posts that are openly Zionist. They're nowhere near posting a majority of inflammatory content, and the comment wasn't even that bad, it just seemed shocking because it was so pro-Israel, which usually doesn't happen.

But this will likely need human intervention and can’t be left to the bot to decide.

I completely agree. I didn't plan to have the bot replace human moderation, only provide another tool to automate one part of it.

Anyone who is breaking the few rules that do exist, I was planning to ban. I also just edited the sidebar to make it clear that comments must also follow the slrpnk rules.

Thank you! I agree, and I like how it's working so far. I have some fear about how it'll fare against the wider community, but I just posted to !newcommunities@lemmy.world to invite a new level of challenge,

Hey I never heard about voidpunk, can you maybe explain a little bit what that means to you?

Besides that I think you can start a community here any time as long as it fits within the server rules. I hope you try that out. :D

In the fediverse it sometimes heavily matters because small communities dont get discovered by user of other instances/servers easily.

For your specific question I would encourage you to also (cross)post it to !meta to reach most of the users on this instance/server. I think just leaving it here, your question might not get seen by many.

There are also big communities like !newcommunities@lemmy.world which might help you find others interested in voidpunk.

What's the plan? (self.digitalcommunitybuilding)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by spaduf to c/digitalcommunitybuilding
 
 

The Plan

As an introductory subproject, I will be reaching out directly to Lemmy moderators and asking for their experiences establishing and growing their communities. Once compiled, a summary of the experiences will be written up in a living document for current best practices. To do this, I will be contacting moderators in sets of roughly 5-10 at a time. This will allow for constructive iteration in a way that posting on the “new community” subs (as is more or less standard practice) simply would not.

What then?

Once there are enough resources to be useful I'll make announcement posts in relevant communities as well as reach out to the mods of communities like !newcommunities@lemmy.world about being linked in the sidebar.

And long term?

We'll organize a series of activity drives intended to build bonds and strengthen the institutional knowledge of the fediverse. These initiatives may include:

  • Wiki Building
  • Outreach Drives
  • Community Consolidation and Organization
  • Cross-Community Collaboration
  • Housecleaning

Grand (Re)Opening (self.dcbwiki)

Have you just created a community (or undergone some major revamp)? Consider posting in one of the following places.

Posts to adjacent communities are also useful. Particularly if your community fills a totally separate purpose. Please do not make posts on competing communities. If you are not sure, it is a good idea to reach out to the other moderation team before posting.


This wiki is a living document. If you are interested in contributing, please comment below or make a post over at !digitalcommunitybuilding@slrpnk.net

Probably worth posting at !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you haven't yet.
