Yeah, sorry about the run-on sentence title, but I hope you get what I’m saying
As a former reddit mod who’s made some communities here, so far they are 0% of the work of the reddit ones (not that I was working hard on the reddit communities, I set up automod and let it run). But so far I haven’t had to do any mod work here because there’s basically no spam and no bots. I’m sure that will change, but I can also just recruit more mods as the communities grow.
how recently were you a mod on reddit? I’ve been trying to raise discussions on various communities that I follow about a possible migration and I’m receiving a lot of indifference from the userbase. However, I feel like the mod userbase feels differently given the widespread blackout (many of these communities joined the blackout but it seems like a lot of their users are unaware or unconcerned with the changes.)
my question is do you think the mods are more sympathetic to migrating platforms?
I think it’s a mix, some places did a poll and it was like 30% of prople who use 3rd party apps, so it’s a minority that’ll be impacted, and disproportionatly mods because native modding tools suck.
Yes. 1000% for some of the NSFW subs I used to enjoy
Thirsty!
Ew.
You got my first downvote.
Oh, how I’ve missed seeing the number of downvotes.
That was one of the first changes I disliked that reddit forced down our throats. Seeing the actual totals (without the nonsense “vote fuzzing”) is much more engaging.
Exactly. Ok sure, so somebody said something either not popular or a bit stupid, but “filtering” them out is equally stupid, if not more. You promote echo chambers that way.
It’s been a while ain’t it. That was the first time i knew Reddit didn’t care about our opinions.
Man you really forget what you miss after awhile, it’s so good to see it back
How dare somebody use adult content.
On this Christian site! The nerve! I need to Investigate it for research purposes
It’s times like this I appreciate that Reddit automatically hid low scoring comments
That’s also part of what made reddit a huge echo chamber. Enough downvotes and a post disappears from view. Sure it hides toxic posts, but it also hides dissenting opinions.
Honesty! EW!
That was me. I don’t really feel like modding. I was offered a few mod spots on reddit over the past 11 years, took up one or two, didn’t really enjoy it.
But if everyone feels that way, then lemmy can never reach critical mass. SO i bit the bullet, created a community and hopefully someone will be interested in modding if it ever grows big.
If anyone’s interested, I created maliciouscompliance (one of my favorite subs to lurk in). Mostly reposts for now, but OC should trickle in slowly.
Try joining from one of the links below:
/c/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance
Or type the following in the search bar at the top: !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
If you need help modding it I’d definitely be willing to help out. It’s one of my favorite communities on Reddit
Oh nice I liked that subreddit too, will join
Hey thanks for taking one for the team. I always love maliciouscompliance, so I’m glad we have it here now. Appreciate you!
<3
I really appreciate the work and contribution of everyone here, to make this a great place. :)
<3
Thank you! (One of my favorites so glad it’s now here.)
You’re welcome!
I miss my cat subs. The bigger ones like OneOrangeBraincell, StandardIssueCats, and VoidCats.
And some of the specific ones like Sploot, Toolps (reverse of sploot for the unintiated), KittyCankles, ScrungyCat,
NamFlashbacks. Mainly because my I took new pictures of my cats and wanted to post them there.
illegallysmolcats. There are not near enough cat pic subs. I NEED MORE CATS.
edit: FUCK YEAH KITTENS!
My baby Roxie when she was still a nugget: https://i.imgur.com/rFQWMgK.jpg
She’s 2 now and still pretty smol at 7 pounds: https://i.imgur.com/00qeUVP.jpg
when my Zelda was just a kittenSharing mine when they were still illegally smols
Someone needs to keep those criminals in check!
There’s an illegallysmolcats. I subbed to it today. I’m on my phone so I can’t easily post the link but if you search for the name, it should come up.
Might have been created since the last time i searched. Thank you.
OneOrangeBraincell was sooo good. Oh those sweet dopey boys
There’s one here. Also standard issue cats.
I made this one! https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/cats And then I found this one! https://lemmy.ml/c/aww
I’m subscribed to those, but as per @apepi@lemmy.world below, I NEED MORE CATS! Lol.
Edit: I tried to post in c/aww but I only have lemmy.world account :(
Ok I figured it out. So from my community blahaj, I subscribed to aww. Then in blahaj I create a new post and search for the aww community. And it worked. Give it a try!
Exactly! You don’t need an account on the specific instance, it all federates! You can subscribe to communities on any instance that isn’t blocked :D
Punch in !aww@lemmy.ml in the search bar on lemmy.world, and it will take you there. You can post there no problem.
The “aww” site can be found/subbed by searching on your account’s server for: !aww@lemmy.ml
**Example: **I’m on lemmy.world so if I go to: https://lemmy.world/search and enter the “!” string above it finds me a link that once clicked presents me with a “Subscribe” button.
Those are here!
Yey! Just subbed! Thank you!! @KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world you are a star!!
My pleasure!

Average Lemmy user
Yes… like for Plex, 3d printing and other applications. Support via reddit was best around…
But seeing some new stuff would also be nice…
I saw a 3dprinting. Plex and DizqueTV would be nice.
Here’s the 3d printing one I found !3dprinting@lemmy.world
Following up on this. There is a Plex community that’s already pretty well established. So neither of us need make one. (There’s a few more as well but it’s totally dead)
I’m on my phone so I don’t want to this second, but will comment as a reminder to myself, I’ll start a Plex community if one doesn’t exist by the time I get there. The sub on Reddit wasn’t very active but was good for small bits of things people figured out or bitching about the newest feature that isn’t one everyone wanted lol.
For Plex, the selfhosted community (I don’t remember which instance) can probably help.
I miss idiotsincars
Awesome! Subbed
I miss r/KitchenConfidential. It was a subreddit for people who work in the food industry. I feel like I’ve lost my support group.
Yes. In my two or three days, I’ve considered making multiple, but then I remember I’d be defacto mod, and I calm down. Maybe later, but probably wait for the actual mods of those subs to make the community here.
I started (like 2 hours ago) a Poetry community in my instance. I modded a few microscopic subreddits that never got any traffic, so I’m used to imposter syndrome as a moderator 😥
Just do it anyway and randomly assign people who post there to be mods.
But that’ll just scare everyone away! :S
But is this not an evil move to do that? force responsibility on others?
Yes. I am mostly joking, but I don’t find it to be “that” serious of a crime.
I made a community for Dads, I was subbed to a few on the R, but didn’t see much on Lemmy. If you are a dad and want to contribute to this community, please check it out!
What if I’m not a dad but want a new dad?
I want to meet that dad!
Also I need a Tim and Eric sub, thanks
What if I’m just a stepdad?
That counts!!
I’ve been trying to find an alternative to r/AskPsychology anywhere online because I’ve been trying to find statistics on how likely people with NPD and ASPD are to be abusive and be abused compared to the general population and have had no luck. Asking on places like Quora just results in dipshits and grifters screeching about how people with personality disorders are actual demons from literal hell (and in the latter case, shilling their blog, books, and webinars). ~Cherri
Hi, I’m not /r/AskPsychology but I am a psychologist who likes being asked things!
From a quick literature review, antisocial personality disorder does result in three times higher odds of committing violent offenses in general, and 2.5 times higher odds of being a repeat offender (Yu et al., 2012). Generally, personality disorders do increase the risk of someone committing partner abuse, especially Cluster B symptoms (Ehrensaft et al., 2006) Among men who abuse their wives, personality disorders are present in 50%-90% — especially anti-social, sadistic, and borderline (Hart et al., 2011) — despite personality disorders being only present in 15% of the population (Grant et al., 2004). Throughout, these effects are more pronounced in men, but also present to a rather large degree in women.
Less is known regarding whether people with personality disorders are more often victimised in their relationships. Borderline perdonality disorder in women seems to increase the risk of being abused by a partner by a factor of three though (Gilchrist et al., 2012). We also know that the overwhelming majority of people with personality disorders was abused during childhood (Johnson et al., 2001, etc.) and that victims of childhood abuse are much more likely to become victims of partner violence as adults (Gilchrist et al., 2012).
In summary — there is strong evidence that people with personality disorders are far more likely to be abusers than the average person. There is also evidence that they are also more likely to be victims by a similar factor compared to the average person, but that evidence is more scarce. Also, anti-social, borderline, and sadistic personality disorders are more strongly associated with abusers, and borderline with victims. There’s a lot of research still to be done.

I reluctantly created a bunch because I want to have those conversations. I figure with time we can always call for volunteers and appointment help as needed. I’m hopeful that moderating a board on Lemmy will require somewhat less effort than Reddit due to the friendlier atmosphere and lower volume.
Thanks for doing that! Maybe I’ll do the same. I am such a planner, that I worry about creating monsters I can’t control. 🥸
