It’s only hard to moderate if the topic is controversial and/or your instance admins don’t do anything to help.

In 24 hours, go to https://piefed.social/communities and click on Create Local Community.

I would make the community on this instance

You’ll be fine. We run a tight ship here.

It’s not hard, and you have to wait for a day on piefed.social - this is purely for anti-spam measures.

Okay, thanks!

For context, it’s through here. “Create local community”. Oddly enough it’s actually not on the frontpage in anyway - maybe we should change that.

Yes, I’ve been meaning to add it to the main navigation menu for a long time!





Creating one is easy, the real challenge is getting engagement.

I curate/mod several communities and the vast majority of posts are from me, although there are a lot of comments in the slightly less niche communities and even the more niche one do OK from a comments perspective.

Indeed. OP, you can join !fedigrow@lemmy.zip to have other community builders feedback
