Greetings from new mod team

I’ve started putting together community rules at sidebar

  • Team members: Since we don’t have team modmail capabilities yet, let’s use this to intro ourselves to community, as well as to have conversations about the direction of the community, including feedback from community members feedback.

  • All: I’d welcome your feedback, comments.

  • WRT consent and respect, please also see this post by admins

  • Volunteers? If you (including OCC) would like to help moderate and grow this community, please leave a comment here expressing your interest; prior experience modding is not necessary, simply that you have passion for this particular community. No promises that you’ll get added, but a general community of this potential growth/size could use a good sized team of 5 to 10 mods. Please see this rough commentary on what I consider modding to be: https://lemmynsfw.com/comment/552299

    My preference would be to split the community into different genders (F, M, Tf, Tm, etc) so everyone can subscribe to the subset of who they want to see - have sidebar/sticky-post links to all of them from all of them of course.

    Otherwise everything that isn’t cis-female gets lost in the shuffle anyway as soon as there is enough content.

    (I really wish Gonewild would do this too, and not for my own sake, since it’s reached that content threshold and I very rarely see posts I would skip, but so others can see them easily and the creators could be recognized)

      I understand your point - though lemmynsfw is still smallish that I fear fragmenting would just make everything even “smaller”.
      Let’s see how much content and posters we will have in the next month or so.

      I simply don’t want to peg folks into special groups or tell them to go to “your” corner(s). The larger the audience, the more diversity we’ll have and appreciate.

        That makes sense - I think the way around forced labeling of people is to make it a recommendation rather than a requirement.

          I like that - have updated sidebar to make it recommended

            I was still referring to having separate communities instead of tags, but I do suppose it applies to tags also.
