The preference of locale is to cover global time zones to fit lemmy world’s guidelines for moderators. I’m in Spain, Siyah is from Pakistan. The history community is growing to the tune of 100 new subscribers per month, so I, as the head moderator, am responsible for making certain all bases are covered for “large communities number undefined” under lemmy world’s ever evolving guidelines for mods. It’s an easy gig, as I’ve said before. Nothing too strenuous. You would need to familiarize yourself with the community rules (not hard) and the lemmy world Code of Conduct I’m always available to consult with if you have a question when in doubt about historical accuracy / inaccuracy. I can’t say enough about how much of an easy gig moderating this community is. It’s also fun because you discover new things about the past you never knew about before with every post from community subscribers. There is activity, and it’s usually high quality activity, whether it be posting or commenting. If you happen to live in Antarctica, you would really be helpful here, because then the time zones would all be covered!
Hahaha sleeping an extra hour is very relatable. Thank you for the job then! I’ll make sure to familiarise myself with the code of conduct and happy to be on board with all you guys
You’re very welcome. To give you some advice from my own experience here, which hasn’t been much time, on the very rare occasion I’ve had to delete something, it’s usually because of The Code of Conduct. Anyway, if you ever feel in doubt, I’m always available to consult with. You won’t need to, though. It’s totally easy. Easiest job I’ve ever had.
Great to know! Most users here seem very friendly now so I hope I won’t need it like you said. And thank you for your availability foe any doubt :) Have you been a mod before?
I’ve never moderated before, no. It’s not hard to learn how to do it. You just read the rules and make sure people stick to them and that’s about it. I’ve learned it’s just about paying attention to what’s happening. I just check the community throughout the day and make sure everything is on the up and up.
Sounds straightforward enough then! Thanks for the introduction. I too will follow your advice and check throughout the day, that way the workload will be smaller for all of us here, and we can all have a great time
