MODERATORS
What I don't understand is who is moderating the big subs and why? When r/funny, r/holup, r/publicfreakout, r/damnthatsinsteresting (and I'm sure many others) are all basically the same memes and short videos, what kind of "community" is that? What kind of person signs up to clear the spam out of what is essentially 9gag 2.0 for free?
There are many smaller communities that would probably be happy to move to the Fedi if it were easier and bigger, and I hope Lemmy evolves to the point where those can be absorbed. Reddit can keep the endless meme scrolls.
It's only the smaller ones that I really miss in the fedi. Like, my pipeline for memes is doing fine, I doubt i'm missing any cultural touchstone moments, but on the corpo-net if you needed info specific info about your window box AC unit, not only was there probably a sub, but there was a larger sub just for general AC that would probably ban your post and say something like "hey post this in windowAC."
this is why r/Android moved to !android@lemdro.id. We even made our own instance dedicated to technical content. The reason most people I've been around mod is because they want to either fix a perceived quality problem or maintain a community that they enjoy frequenting.
Nice, r/StarTrek made its own instance too
Power hungry douches that have nothing better to do with their lives. Some of these people actually consider it a job, even though they don't get paid.
