The option to create a community is right up on top of my screen. That implies to me that it’s a thing any of us can just do. I’m new here, though, and I don’t wanna make a faux pas or whatever. I have questions.
- Is there accepted etiquette around who creates a community or when?
- How general-interest should communities on midwest.social remain?
- Might creating more communities right now exacerbate the high CPU usage problems in any way?
It’s probably actually impressive how little I know about subreddit moderation, to say nothing of Lemmy community moderation. I just don’t want to incessantly ask things of a small number of people during an anomalous influx of instance traffic that’s probably already demanding enough.
Which… I guess is what this post is. Woof. Sorry. Just wanna be a good citizen!
What happens when a community gets abandoned? I.e. someone creates a community, appoints no other mods, and then abandons Lemmy/that account. I assume a server admin can take the reigns and appoint a new mod(s)?
Yep, admins can transfer communities.
