I’m done now. Just some thoughts that popped into my head.

Well for me, its contextual. I mod !obscuremusic@lemm.ee currently. If you read the sidebar, and just observe how I post - that’s basically the formatting I’d like. Other people on there aren’t always following it. Now, I don’t really think its a huge problem currently - I’m glad other people are using it. I’m trying to grow it - but some of the ‘errors’ are really minor in regards to the post formatting.

In other cases, it’s just cleaning things up for aesthetic purposes. Fixing typos etc. Small things like that, you know?

I mean, and/or the use of bots to automatically instantly remove posts that don’t meet the posting format.

I think if the edit log showing the moderator that edited it, and timestamped was publicly visible then any attempts at vandalism or trolling would obviously backfire.

And “by quietly” I simple mean adjusting it. I have no issue with that edit going on the public record in those circumstances. Just I would do it without necessarily bothering the OP. Or maybe it could ping them too automatically. I don’t mind.

Well in an ideal world, it might reduce the average amount of upvotes a post/comment gets, but provides more meaningful insight into the communities reaction.

Some were already in, but have been added to online media (under entertainment -> media) and medical respectively (blood donors)

I might make a “Journaling” nest based on 2 of yours there, but I’ll wait until I get some more.

It’s due to our Online Safety Act.

Lemmy.zip has geoblocked the UK. What’s it going to?

I have added everything I didn’t have there into the relevant categories.

How would I organise “Collapse”? It is basically a place for doomer-climate-collapse communities and a few prepper places atm. It’s a hybrid of lifestyle, environmentalism and anti-capitalism/doomerism etc.

“Regional” leads to national communities. Canada, USA, UK etc.

“Music” might be a simply top level category to add. I can help with this one if needed.

Music and Video Games are under “Entertainment” atm, but sure. Ideas?

Not sure what communities fall under Technology. I can provide a broader selection of choices if needed.

Well until some collaborative function arrives, I’ll scan communities posted on advertising communities and invite people to communicate to me their community and its categories. Taking advice for new sub-feeds and reorganisation in here, or indeed, on a hypothetical matrix room.

Done

@Emperor@feddit.uk this is what I meant.

Post scheduling would be useful for many communities.

I run television. It’s kinda easy for me. There’s usually a flood of news from the industry, renewals and reviews that come up daily. I post all that I think are relevant (some are just not interesting to most people), and once a day put out a general discussion thread.

We’re consolidating.

Yes. It’s for TV

In this case, its automation. It’s also a partial response to Reddits ineffectual moderator system. No-one is gunna spend all day monitoring comments from trolls and spammers on basic communities usually flooded with comments. I can’t see anyone especially truly engaged to do so in (for example, and I have no idea if these communities do this) in r/aww or r/pics or r/jokes or r/videos, which are just pretty basic subreddits that aren’t really hobbyist.

Whereas say, r/AskHistorians or some video game community or a music subgenre community likely will by their hobbyist nature attract more engaged moderators.

They will do it so long as not doing it greatly increases the amount of busywork, spam moderation and troll moderation.

Sure, but it offers at least some protection.

By low karma I mean -100 types.
